Description
Forward and Follow Me provide two ways for a user to send calls to another
number. Calls can be forwarded either to another inside extension (for example,
if a user is temporarily working at a different desk) or to an outside number (for
example, if a user is working at home). When calls are forwarded to an outside
number, the feature is called Remote Call Forward.
In Release 4.0 and later, both Forward and Follow Me are affected by the
Forwarding Delay option, which allows calls to an extension to ring for at least a
programmed number of rings (0-9) before the call is forwarded to the receiving
extension. If a call cannot be forwarded while certain conditions exist, the Delay
may be greater than the programmed Forwarding Delay setting under certain
conditions. The Forwarding Delay setting can be programmed only by the
system administrator through System Programming.
NOTE:
Calls forwarded to outside telephone numbers may vary in transmission quality.
Whether calls are sent using Forward or using Follow Me depends on where the
feature is turned on:
Forward and Remote Call Forward are turned on at the user's own
extension or from an outside telephone by remote access. Forward can
be turned off at the user's own extension, at an extension to which the
user's calls are forwarded, or from an outside telephone by remote
access. (System programming is required to allow Remote Call
Forwarding.)
Follow Me is turned on at another inside extension to send the user's
calls to that extension. It can be turned off at the user's own extension or
at the extension to which calls are sent. Follow Me can be used only to
send calls to an extension, not to an outside telephone number.
If several extensions are sending their calls to a user, that user can turn off
Forward and Follow Me either for one extension at a time or for all extensions at
once.
