Call Forwarding Variations
Call Forwarding
Call forwarding allows calls to be forwarded, e.g., to a mobile phone.
Call Forwarding Variations
The PBX support three different call forwarding types:
Call Forwarding for Subscribers
When call forwarding (CF) for subscribers is used, internal and external calls to a single
telephone can be rerouted to other internal telephones or external connections. In this way, the
subscriber in question or his replacement can take these calls on another telephone.
Call forwarding for subscribers makes sure that the subscriber in question or his replacement
is always available at his own phone number, even if the subscriber cannot take a call on his
own telephone.
Call Forwarding for Groups
When call forwarding for groups is used, internal and external calls to a group can be rerouted
to other internal telephones or external connections. In this way, a person that is not a member
of this group and therefore cannot log in, can receive these calls.
Call forwarding for groups makes sure that someone is always available on the group number,
even if the calls cannot be taken by a member of the group.
Call Forwarding for External Numbers
When call forwarding for external numbers is used, calls made to an external number (dialled
by an external caller) are rerouted to other external connections. In this way, these calls can be
taken on another telephone, for example, on a mobile phone if no one can take the call inter-
nally.
Call forwarding for external numbers can be configured for the current configuration or for the
permanent configuration.
Note:
If you want to also forward internal calls, use call forwarding for
subscribers or for groups instead of call forwarding for external numbers. This
also allows forwarding to internal telephones.
