Screen Reference
System Parameters Call Coverage / Call Forwarding
Local Cvg Subsequent Redirection/CFWD No
Ans Interval (rings)

•
the number of rings applied at a local coverage point before a call redirects to the next coverage
point
•
the number of rings applied at the principal before a call forwards when Call Forwarding
Busy/Don't Answer is activated.
Valid entries
1–99
Off-Net Cvg Subsequent Redirection/CFWD
No Ans Interval (rings)
This field specifies:
•
the number of rings applied at an off-net coverage point before a call is redirected to the next
coverage point
•
the number of rings applied at an off-net forwarded-to destination before the call is redirected to
coverage.
Valid entries
1–99
NOTE:
When ringing local destinations (say in an office environment), a short interval often is
appropriate because the intended party either is near the phone or not present. However,
when ringing off-net locations, you cannot assume how near the intended party is to the
phone. If the call is left at an off-net destination for only a short interval, the call may be
redirected to the next destination before the intended party has any real chance of
answering the call.
Threshold for Blocking Off-Net Redirection of
Incoming Trunk Calls
This field applies for those occasions when an incoming call to a station redirects off-net. At that time,
the Call Forward timer activates to block any further incoming calls to that station from being redirected
off-net until the timer expires.

See note below.
Usage
The number of allowed calls to be routed off-net before blocking
commences.
Call processing never activates the Call Forward timer. Therefore,
any number of calls to a principal may be redirected off-net.
