Reverse Transfer - Inter-Tel CS-5200 Administrator's Manual

INTER-TEL

Reverse Transfer

Calls ringing or recalling at a endpoint or a hunt group can be picked up at any other endpoint,
using this feature. Calls on hold can also be picked up from endpoints. A user can reverse
transfer a call from a endpoint or a hunt group on another node.
If more than one call is ringing or holding at the endpoint or hunt group, a priority list deter-
mines which call is reverse transferred. Calls are selected in the following order, and if more
than one call of the same type is at the endpoint, the calls are picked up in the order they were
received:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If a call is reverse transferred from a hunt group announcement or overflow endpoint, and an
endpoint in the hunt group becomes available, the call will be disconnected from your endpoint
immediately when answered by the hunt group endpoint.
Group Call Pick-up: When the Group Call Pick-Up feature is enabled, a call ringing in to a
hunt group or one of its endpoints can be picked up at any other endpoint. Users can enter the
Reverse Transfer feature code (4) and dial a hunt group's pilot number to pick up a call that is
ringing in to the hunt group's pilot number or to any endpoint within that hunt group. See
page 148
NOTE
There is a programmable endpoint flag called "Transient Call Indication On Call Answer" that
determines whether the user sees a call display when reverse transferring a call (or using a sec-
ondary extension button). If the flag is enabled, the display indicates whether the call was ring-
ing, recalling, transferred, or holding at the other endpoint.
To reverse transfer a call:
