Forwarding in a Private Network
For Release 6.0 systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Remote Call Forwarding can
be used in combination with Caller ID. The LS-ID Delay option must be
programmed to On for each line connected to the 800 GS/LS-ID module. To pass
Caller ID information across the private network when a call is transferred, set the
Forwarding Delay to one ring. Transfer of the call must be completed before the
call is forwarded. The user at the extension that first receives the Caller ID call
from the PSTN must activate Forwarding and specify forwarding across the
private network, over PRI tandem trunks only, to a non-local extension with an
MLX display telephone. When the call is received on the destination MLX display
telephone, the user sees the Caller ID information.
In Release 6.0, the user at the extension that first receives the Caller ID call from
the PSTN turns Remote Call Forwarding on and specifies forwarding across the
private network, over PRI tandem trunks only, to a non-local extension with an
MLX display telephone. Remote Call Forwarding can also be turned on by
entering the feature code or pressing a programmed Forward button, and dialing
the local ARS access code, a fictitious exchange, and the non-local extension. For
example, the user dials
Forward, dials 9 (local ARS access code), dials 555, and dials 4411 (the non-local
extension number). The ARS tables must include an Exchange table for the
fictitious exchange (555). The pool associated with that Exchange table must be a
tandem trunk pool. The digit absorption associated with that Exchange table must
be set to 3. The factory setting for Remote Call Forwarding is to prohibit it for all
extensions, so the system manager must program the original receiving extension
to allow use of the feature.
In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Forward can be used
to send calls to a non-local extension across a private network. Remote Call
Forwarding privileges do not have to be turned on. Caller ID information is sent
with the forwarded call if PRI tandem trunks connect the systems.
!
SECURITYlALERT:
Remote Call Forwarding allows a user to forward an incoming call to an
outside number. When a call is placed to the extension that is forwarding
calls to an outside number, the caller can stay on the line after the call is
concluded and receive another dial tone. At this point, the caller can initiate
a toll call. For additional information, see Appendix A, "Customer Support
Information."
