Table 22. Forwarded Call Ringing
Telephone
Type Calls forwarded to Inside Extension
Multiline In Release 4.0 and prior systems, the forwarding
telephone must ring once for an SA or ICOM call. If all
SA or ICOM buttons are busy, the caller hears the
busy tone and the call is not forwarded.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, if SA or ICOM
buttons are all busy, the call is forwarded immediately,
regardless of the delay setting.
If an SA or ICOM button is available, the green LED
continues flashing; the call can still be answered.
The receiving telephone rings, and the green LED
flashes at an available SA or ICOM button until the
call is answered.
Single-line In Release 4.0 and prior systems, the forwarding
telephone rings until the call is answered. If the SA or
ICOM line is busy, the caller hears a busy tone and
the call is not forwarded. In Release 4.1 and later
systems, if the SA or ICOM line is busy, the call is
forwarded immediately, regardless of the delay
setting.
The destination telephone rings, and the green LED
flashes at an available SA or ICOM button until the
call is answered.
Delayed Forwarding
In Release 4.0 and later systems, each user can program a Forwarding Delay
setting for calls that are forwarded using Forward, Remote Call Forwarding, or
Follow Me. The Forwarding Delay is the number of rings that a call rings at the
forwarding extension before it is forwarded to the receiver. The number of rings
can be set from zero to nine (0–9 rings) through system programming. Once the
Forwarding Delay is programmed, it is in effect until it is reprogrammed.
The user may use this feature to screen calls during that time by checking the
displayed calling number if it is available.
Do Not Disturb overrides Delayed Forwarding. Calls are immediately forwarded if
Do Not Disturb is on while Forward or Follow Me is active.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, if a call arrives on an SA or ICOM line to a
forwarding extension where all SA or ICOM buttons are busy, the call is sent
immediately to its destination. The Forwarding Delay has no effect.
