Call Forward lets you redirect incoming calls to an alternate number.
The following table describes the different types of Call Forward.
Call Forward Types and Descriptions |
|
Call Forward Type |
Used to redirect ... |
Busy (External & Internal Source) |
incoming calls when your phone is busy |
Busy (External Source) |
incoming external calls when your phone is busy |
Busy (Internal Source) |
incoming internal calls when your phone is busy |
No Answer (External & Internal Source) |
incoming calls when you do not answer |
No Answer (External Source) |
incoming external calls when you do not answer |
No Answer (Internal Source) |
incoming internal calls when you do not answer |
Follow Me (Call Forward Always) |
all incoming calls (activated from the forwarding set) |
Follow Me Third Party |
all incoming calls (activated from a third party set on the network) |
I Am Here |
all incoming calls (activated from the destination set) |
In a resilient cluster, Call Forwarding must be configured at the primary controller.
Call Forward has no effect on Callbacks or calls directed to hunt groups.
Call Forward has no effect if the Call Forward destination calls the originating station.
Calls cannot be redirected to a pager.
Call Forward Out of Service, that is, rerouting of calls to out of service stations, including logged-out hot desk devices behaves the same as Call Forward No Answer (CFNA). When there is no CFNA destination programmed, calls are handled as if the device is not installed.
Calls to out of service (OOS) devices, including logged out hot desk users, follow Call Forwarding No Answer programming in effect at the OOS device or hot desk DN. If forwarding is not in effect, calls will go to the No Answer destination programmed in the Call Rerouting First Alternatives form. If no rerouting is programmed, normal intercept handling will be followed.
The OOS/Logged Out forwarding can be chained with any other type of forwarding and rerouting. For example, Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) or Call Forward Follow Me can be chained with Call Forward Out of Service (CFOOS) and CFNA can be chained with CFOOS or Reroute On Out of Service. When a call is forwarded to an OOS/Logged Out device which does not have rerouting programmed, the call will attempt to follow the rerouting in effect at the original call destination. If the original call destination has no rerouting programmed and the call was a CFNA forward, then the original destination will continue ringing. If the device is out of service, and no further forwards can be attempted, then the caller will receive an OOS indication (Reorder tone by default).
Group Page and Meet Me Answer override Call Forwarding.
Call Forwarding does not recognize trunks with the Public Trunk COS option set to "Yes" as CO trunks, but uses the actual trunk type for application.
Class of Service may be used to limit programming of call forwarding.
If Call Forward Busy is enabled on the set, incoming calls follow the Call Forward Busy programming and do not allow for the delay of Call Forward.
Call Forward - Follow Me - End Chaining and Call Forward - Follow Me - Reroute when Busy are the only types of call forwarding that you program on a set's non-prime lines (phantom lines). Other types of call forwarding are not supported on phantom lines.
When "DPNSS/QSIG Diversion Enabled" is set to "No" in the System Options form, all types of Call Forward can be cancelled from anywhere in the network.
When "DPNSS/QSIG Diversion Enabled" is set to "Yes" in the System Options form:
Call Forward Follow Me can only be cancelled from the set where the feature was programmed.
Call Forward Follow Me Third Party can only be cancelled from the set to which calls were forwarded, or from any set connected to the same ICP as the set that programmed the feature.
Call Forward I Am Here can only be cancelled from the set to which calls were forwarded.
Calls cannot be forwarded to a set in another tenant unless both tenants in question have permission to call each other (that is, each tenant has granted the other tenant calling permission). See Tenanting for more information on tenant permissions.
The Call Forwarding application on the 5330 and 5340 IP Phones is unaware of call forwarding state changes made by other methods such as Superkey. To avoid confusion, always use the Call Forwarding application to program call forwarding on the 5330 and 5340 IP Phones.
Calls to hotel suites, which have all members out of service, will follow the Call Forwarding No Answer in effect for the primary suite member. If CFNA is not in effect, the rerouting programmed for the suite pilot number will be followed.
Ensure that the forwarding station and the destination station are permitted to connect to one another in the Interconnect Restriction Table.
For Call Forward Follow Me (Third-Party) and I Am Here forwarding, enable Call Forwarding Accept in the Class of Service Options form of the forward destination.
Program the Number Of Forward Hops in the System Options form.
To allow forwarding to an external destination, enable Call Forwarding (External Destination) in the Class of Service Options form.
To allow forwarding to an internal destination, enable Call Forwarding (Internal Destination) in the Class of Service Options form.
For Call Forward Follow Me, enable Group Call Forward Follow Me Accept and Group Call Forward Follow Me Allow in the Class of Service Options form.
For Call Forward Follow Me (Third Party), enable Third Party Call Forward Follow Me Allow in the Class of Service Options form for the remote telephone.
