3.3.1.9 Remote Extensions
With TalkSwitch’s Remote Extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly from your
office to any phone number you choose. Your cell phone, pager or any out-of-office
number becomes a ‘Remote Extension’ of your office system. You can choose to screen
callers if required. If you are unavailable or choose not to accept calls, they can be
transferred back to your office (e.g. to voicemail or another extension) or forwarded to
another out-of-office telephone number (e.g. to a business partner’s cell phone)
depending upon the Call Cascade configuration.
For details on how to use Remote Extensions, see section 4.3
Once your remote extensions are configured, calls can be forwarded by the Auto
Attendant or transferred by someone in your office simply by dialing the Remote
Extension number. There are 8 Remote Extensions available per TalkSwitch unit.
If a TalkSwitch has Unit ID 2, then the Remote Extension numbers are 221 – 228. Unit ID
3 has remote extensions 231-238, and Unit ID 4 has 241-249
Choose a Remote Extension to configure. You must enter a phone number in order for
the extension to be considered active and usable by the system.
