3.1 Forwarding Calls

All external, internal and transferred calls directed to your extension can be diverted to a different internal extension
number. You can enter the destination extension telephone number and select when calls are redirected using a
programmed button.
Before you can automatically forward calls you need to assign the feature to a button with lights. The button can then be
used to turn call forwarding on and off as required.
· Selected users may also be able to do remote call forwarding where they forward their calls to an external number.
If that is the case, consult your system administrator, you can use your
destination.
· Some users may also be able to use cell phone connect, again consult your system administrator. With cell phone
connect the call will ring at both your extension and at the remote call forwarding destination. This is also called
mobile twinning.
· You receive a slow interrupted intercom dialling tone when call forwarding is active.

3.2 Call Coverage

Call coverage is used to redirect all intercom, transferred, DID and outside calls on lines assigned to you to another
extension. When call coverage is in use, covered calls are routed to the covering extension after a specified number of
rings set by the system administrator.
· Group calls, forwarded calls, transfer-return calls and calls to doorphone alert extensions are not covered.
· A single extension can cover multiple extensions, however an extension can have only one covering extension.
· If you activate call coverage at your extension, for calls on a line appearance button, you still can intercept a call
rerouted to coverage by pressing the button.
· You can program call coverage on a programmable button. Use a button with lights if you want a visual indication
when your calls are being covered. When the button indicator is on, your calls are being covered; when off, call
coverage is not active.
· If both call coverage and do not disturb are on, covered calls go immediately to the covering extension without
ringing the covered extension. Similarly, if call coverage is on and a call begins to ring, you can turn on
Disturb to send that call immediately for coverage.
