Programming Call Transfer on Radio Loss

You can program the feature that controls call transfer on radio loss through the
Administration Terminal or through Companion Manager. This section explains
how to program the feature through the Administration Terminal. For
information about programming this feature through Companion Manager,
refer to Companion Manager Installation and Operations Guide.
If a portable telephone user moves beyond radio range or if the battery in the
portable telephone becomes weak, the call may be dropped. To keep calls from
terminating abruptly, program the system so that it transfers dropped calls to
another number.
There are three values for Transfer on Radio Loss:
• None (the default): Calls are not transferred.
• Dflt: Calls are transferred to the default for the system, for example, a
receptionist.
• A specific number: Calls are transferred to the specified number, for
example, an answering machine.
Note: There can be a delay of about 10 seconds between the time that
the link is lost and the time that the call is transferred.
