Forward and Follow Me
When an MLX display telephone user turns Follow Me on or off, the
display prompts for the forwarding extension. After the feature is turned
on, the message
Signed In
appears. After the feature is turned off,
Signed Out
appears.
If an MLX display telephone user enters an invalid destination while
turning on Forward, the display clears. If a user enters an invalid
extension while turning on Forward, Remote Call Forwarding, or
Follow Me at an analog multiline display telephone,
Error
is displayed.
Do Not Disturb
Calls are not forwarded to a destination extension that has Do Not Disturb
turned on; the call rings only at the forwarding telephone as described in
. Turning on Do Not Disturb at the forwarding
extension does not prevent calls from being forwarded.
In Release 4.0 and later systems, turning on Do Not Disturb at a
forwarding extension causes calls to be forwarded immediately. The
Forwarding Delay has no effect.
Group Calling
An available calling group member is automatically logged out when the
member forwards his or her calls. If a calling group member logs in while
calls are being forwarded, Forward or Remote Call Forward is
automatically canceled.
Calls cannot be forwarded to a calling group.
When a line/trunk programmed to ring into a calling group is assigned as
a personal line on a principal user’s telephone, an incoming call received
on the personal line is not sent to the calling group if the principal user
forwards calls to an outside telephone number through Remote Call
Forwarding.
HotLine
Forward and Follow Me are not intended for HotLine extensions (Release
5.0 and later systems) but can be used at these extensions. Forwarding
must be programmed at the extension before it is assigned as a HotLine
extension. Follow Me cannot be activated at a HotLine extension, and
both Forward and Follow Me must be cancelled at non-HotLine
extensions.
Remote Call Forwarding is not intended for HotLine extensions but can
be programmed before the extension is assigned as a HotLine. To cancel
Remote Call Forwarding, remove HotLine programming first.
Multi-Function
Module
Forward (including Remote Call Forwarding) and Follow Me should not
be used on an MFM because the user does not have an LED that
indicates when the feature is active.
Night Service
When Night Service is turned on, calls arriving for a Night Service group
member can be forwarded to an extension using Forward or Follow Me.
However, calls cannot be forwarded to an outside telephone number
using Remote Call Forward.
Paging
Calls cannot be forwarded to a paging group. The line/trunk number used
to connect loudspeaker paging equipment cannot be used to forward calls
to outside telephone numbers.
Park
Returning parked calls are not forwarded.
