Call Forwarding Identification
When you place a call that gets forwarded, a Call Forwarding identifier is displayed (
see above
).
When you receive a call that is being forwarded to you, the display includes the origin of the call, the number of the phone from which
the call is forwarded, and a Call Forwarding identifier.
When you answer a call to an SDN on your desk set, an asterisk (*) after the Call Identifier code means that the PDN phone for that
number is busy.
Appendix: Classes of Telephone Service
Below are descriptions of MIT's classes of phone service, including restrictions on calling. If you are unsure which class of service is on
your phone, check with your department's Administrative Officer, or call your Telephone Support Services Customer Representative. If
you try to place a call outside the restrictions of your service class, you will hear a recording or a fast busy signal.
