Managing Calls

CALL FORWARD CONFIGURATION
Call Forward (CFWD) on the IP phone allows incoming calls to be forwarded to another
destination.
On the 6865i, you can set CFWD on the phone-side for a specific account or for all accounts
on the phone. You can set three modes for CFWD using the Mitel Web UI at the path,
Basic
Settings > Preferences > General > Call Forward Key Mode
:
Account
(default),
Phone
, and
Custom
. Call Forward behaves according to the mode you set.
You can configure CFWD using the Mitel Web UI at the path,
Basic Settings > Account
Configuration,
oryou can configure CFWD using the IP phone UI at the path,
Options > Call
Forward.
Using the Mitel Web UI at the path,
Operation > Programmable Keys,
you can also configure
a
CFWD
key on the phone to use as a shortcut for accessing the CFWD menu on the phone.
The following describes the behavior for each CFWD mode:
•
Account (default): The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account basis.
Pressing a configured
CFWD
key applies to the account in focus.
•
Phone: The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD configuration for all accounts
(All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you configure the initial account, the phone applies
the configuration to all other accounts. (In the Mitel Web UI, only the account you configured
is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but set to the same configuration.) Using the
Mitel Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts
on the phone.
•
Custom: The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all
accounts. You can configure a specific mode (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account
independently or all accounts. On the 6865i, you can set all accounts to
All On
or
All Off
.
You can enable different CFWD rules/modes independently (for example, you can set different
phone numbers for Busy, All, and No Answer modes and then turn them on/off individually).
Note:
If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is
ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to Phone.
Notes:
1.
If you make changes to the configuration for CFWD via the IP phone UI, you must
refresh the Mitel Web UI screen to see the changes.
2.
If CFWD is enabled for an account, the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LED will
turn on when the CFWD-enabled account is in focus.
