Forward and Follow Me
Coverage
continued
■
A call that is remote call-forwarded before any coverage is not
covered.
■
A call that is remote call-forwarded while Primary and/or Secondary
Coverage receivers are alerting is removed from those coverage
points and is not sent to Group Coverage.
■
If a call is sent to Group Coverage after forwarding, the call is
removed from the called extension, the forwarded-to extension and
any primary and secondary Cover buttons.
CTI Link
When an MLX extension is programmed as a CTI link (Release 5.0 and
later systems only), forwarding is deactivated for that extension.
Digital Data Calls
Digital communications devices can forward calls by dialing the
associated feature code.
Forward can be activated by video systems that have the ability to dial
strings and feature codes beginning with #. 2B data calls are forwarded
as two 1B data calls. Remote Call Forwarding is not available at video
system extensions.
Direct Station
Selector
Forward can be turned on by pressing a programmed Forward button or
using the feature code, then pressing a DSS button for the destination
extension. Follow Me can be turned on by using the feature code and
pressing a DSS button corresponding to the forwarding extension.
A call can be forwarded to a multiline telephone that has a DSS or Auto
Dial button for the originator. When this occurs in Release 2.1 and later
systems, the red LED next to the DSS button or green LED next to the
Auto Dial button does not flash.
Direct Voice Mail
In Release 4.0 and later systems, if Forwarding is active and Delayed
Forwarding is not set to 0 rings, pressing the Direct Voice Mail button at
the forwarding extension while a call is ringing on a button causes the call
to go directly to voice mail without being forwarded.
In Release 3.0 and later systems, a call that is made or transferred to an
extension by using Direct Voice Mail is not forwarded or remote call
forwarded.
Display
When an MLX display telephone user forwards calls to an extension, the
display prompts for the extension. After Forward is turned on, the user
sees a confirmation message. A user receiving a forwarded call sees a
message indicating which extension forwarded the call. For an outside
call, pressing More displays the line the call came in on and, if ISDN
calling party identification or Caller ID is available, the caller’s number.
For an inside call, pressing More shows the caller’s name and extension.
Display
continued
When an MLX display telephone user forwards calls to an outside
number, the display prompts for the number. On MLX and analog
multiline telephones, the digits appear on the display as the user dials the
number. An MLX display telephone user receives a feedback message
confirming that his or her calls are now forwarded to an outside number.
