often is appropriate because the intended party either is near the telephone or
not present. However, when ringing off-net locations, you cannot assume how
near the intended party is to the telephone. If the call is left at an off-net
destination for only a short interval, the call can be redirected to the next
destination before the intended party has any real chance of answering the call.
Threshold for Blocking Off-Net Redirection of Incoming Trunk Calls
This field applies for those occasions when an incoming call to a station redirects off-net. At that
time, the Call Forward timer activates to block any further incoming calls to that station from
being redirected off-net until the timer expires.

locations, you cannot assume how near the intended party is to the
telephone. If the call is left at an off-net destination for only a short

intended party has any real chance of answering the call.

number of calls to a principal can be redirected off-net.
