MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 6.1
Feature Reference 555-661-110
Features
Forward and Follow Me
Use of Forward or Follow Me
Whether calls are sent by using Forward or using Follow Me depends on where
the feature is activated:
Forward and Remote Call Forwarding are activated at a user's own
extension or from an outside telephone by remote access. Forward can be
deactivated at a user's own extension, at a local extension to which the
user's calls are forwarded, or from an outside telephone by remote access.
(System programming is required to allow Remote Call Forwarding.)
Forward to a non-local extension can be activated only at the user's own
extension.
Follow Me is activated at another local extension to send a user's calls to
that local extension. It can be deactivated at a user's own extension or at
the local extension to which calls are sent. Follow Me can be used only to
send calls to a local extension, not to an outside telephone number or
non-local extension.
If several extensions are sending their calls to a user, that user can turn off
Forward and Follow Me either for one extension at a time or for all extensions.
NOTES:
1. In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only),
Follow Me is not supported across a private network.
2. In Release 6.0 (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Forward is not
supported across a private network.
3. In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only),
Forward is supported across a private network.
4. In Release 6.0 and later systems, a user with an authorization
code can turn Forward or Remote Call Forwarding on or off from
a multiline telephone at another extension in the local system.
He or she first dials the authorization code for his or her home
extension and then activates the feature normally. A single-line
telephone user and a remote access user cannot enter the
Pause character, if required, in a Remote Call Forwarding digit
string.
