Forwarding all calls

Overriding Call Forward
Compact Plus System Administration Guide
You can temporarily forward your calls to another telephone in
the Compact Plus system by using the Call Forward All Calls
feature.
If the telephone to which you forwarded your calls does not have
the same exchange lines as your telephone, the forwarded calls
appear on intercom keys.
If a call is forwarded, it does not ring but the line indicator flashes
on your telephone. You can still answer the call by pressing the
key next to the flashing indicator.
If you are one of a group of people who regularly forward their
calls to one another, be aware that it is possible to set up loops
where a call is forwarded from one telephone to another in a
circle, but it is not answered anywhere.
1. Press ≤›.
2. Enter the extension number of the telephone you want to
forward your calls to. The display shows Forward>nnn.
To cancel, press ≤£› or press CANCEL.
Note: You can also set the system to forward your calls to
another telephone when your telephone is busy or is not
answered.
Note the differences between Line redirection and Call
Forward. Call Forward forwards all calls that arrive at
your telephone to another telephone within the Compact
Plus system. Line redirection redirects only the lines you
specify, no matter which telephones they appear on, to a
telephone outside the Compact Plus system. Line
redirection takes precedence over Call Forward.
If you telephone someone who has their calls forwarded to your
extension, your call rings at that person's telephone. In this way
you can still communicate with the forwarded extension.
