Forward and Follow Me
The systemwide LS-ID delay, if programmed, is in addition to the
Forwarding Delay. The total delay is the LS-ID delay plus the
Forwarding Delay.
Call Waiting does not apply to forwarded calls, because the system
tries the destination telephone instead of the forwarding telephone.
However, if the call is not forwarded for any reason (for example,
because the user has tried to use Remote Call Forward from a restricted
telephone), Call Waiting functions normally.
When calls received on a personal line are forwarded to an outside
telephone number and another user who shares the personal line and
the trunk selected to forward the call joins the in-progress call (by
pressing the personal line button), the person joining the call is
considered the conference originator and the forwarded call can be
conferenced. If the person joining the call hangs up, all participants on
the conference call are disconnected.
In Release 3.0 and earlier, or if the Forwarding Delay is programmed to
0 rings, when a coverage sender forwards calls, calls are forwarded
and sent to coverage at the same time. Calls received on a Primary
Cover, Secondary Cover, or Group Cover button are not forwarded.
If a coverage receiver has activated Remote Call Forwarding, calls sent
to that extension through Coverage are not forwarded to the remote
location.
For Release 4.0, one of the following occurs if both coverage and
forwarding are on and the Forwarding Delay is not set to 0 rings.
A call that is sent to Group Coverage before the Forwarding
attempt does not get forwarded.
A call that is Remote call Forwarded before any Coverage does
not receive Coverage.
A call that is Remote Call Forwarded while Primary and/or
Secondary Coverage points are alerting is removed from those
coverage points, and is not sent to Group Coverage.
If a call is sent to Group Coverage after Call Forwarding, the call is
removed from the called station, the Forwarded-to station and any
Primary and Secondary Coverage buttons.
Terminal adapters can forward calls by dialing the associated feature
code. Internal calls can be answered either at the forwarding terminal
adapter or the destination terminal adapter. External calls however are
only answered by the forwarding terminal adapter.
Desktop video systems cannot forward calls, since they cannot activate
features using feature codes.
