106 / Forwarding your calls
Modular ICS 6.0 System Coordinator Guide P0992640 03
If a call is forwarded, it does not ring but the line indicator
flashes on your telephone. You can answer the call by pressing
the button next to the flashing indicator.
Overriding Call Forward
If you call someone who has their calls forwarded to you, your
call rings at that set telephone even though they are forwarding
their calls to you.
Changing the automatic Call Forward settings for a
telephone
Call forwarding occurs automatically when a call is not
answered or the line is busy. These automatic options are
changed in programming.
For step-by-step instructions, see Change where a call goes
when there is no answer on page 37.
Changing Forward no answer
Forward no answer redirects unanswered calls to another
telephone on your Norstar system.
Tip -
Beware of creating call-forward loops
If you are one of a group of people who regularly forward their
calls to one another, be aware that it is possible to set up
forward loops where a call is forwarded from one telephone to
another in a circle, and is never answered anywhere.
Tip -
If the set is a member of a Hunt Group, the Call Forward
no answer feature is overridden and the Hunt Group call
continues to ring until the hunt time has expired. For more
information on Hunt Groups see Programming Hunt Groups on
page 161.
