SMDR
If the system is programmed to track both incoming and outgoing calls,
two Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) records are generated
when an outside call is forwarded to an outside telephone number. One
record shows the incoming call, and the other record shows the call made
to the destination telephone number with the forwarding telephone as the
originator.
Programming of the Remote Call Forwarding number to which incoming
calls are to be forwarded is completed by pressing
#
. The SMDR report
includes the
#
with the number for calls forwarded to the number.
System Access/
Intercom Buttons
A Shared SA button cannot be used to turn on Forward or Remote Call
Forward for the principal’s telephone. Calls received on a Shared SA
button are not forwarded.
When calls are forwarded to an extension, a call received on an SA or
ICOM button rings once at the forwarding extension’s SA or ICOM button
—including all assigned Shared SA buttons, even though a call received
on these buttons is not forwarded—and rings at the destination
extension’s SA or ICOM button, including all assigned Shared SA
buttons, until it is answered. In Release 4.1 and later systems, calls are
forwarded immediately when no SA or ICOM button is available at the
forwarding extension.
Transfer
Inside and outside calls transferred by another user or by an operator are
forwarded. If a user transfers a call to an extension with calls forwarded,
the extension receiving the forwarded calls hears one burst of ring,
indicating an inside call. If the extension is a display telephone, the call
information appears as an inside call and not an outside call. Returning
transferred calls are not forwarded.
Voice Announce
Voice-announced calls are not forwarded.
