Tip -
The line chosen for redirecting calls on other lines
can be used normally when it is not busy on a redirected
call. To avoid redirection failing because the chosen line
is in use, choose a line pool with several lines in it.
The system does not check that the number you give for
line redirection is a valid one. If you redirect to an invalid
number, redirection fails. Using an autodial button to
enter the redirection number helps avoid this possibility.
An autodial button used for line redirection must be
programmed to use a specific line.
