Activating/De-activating Call Forwarding Features

Logic – Call Forwarding features are used to forward all incoming calls to another telephone number, there are several variations of call forwarding that each have their own uses. Please note that call forwarding option will only impact calls coming directly to your line and will not forward calls coming from a hunt group/call center.

• Call Forwarding Always - This will forward all calls to the desired telephone number.
• Call Forwarding Busy - This forwards calls only if your line is busy, your line is busy only if all available call paths to your phone are in use, typically there are 3 call paths setup for each phone.
• Call Forwarding No Answer - This forwards any call that is not answered after X number of rings, you specify how many times you want the desk phone to ring before forwarding the call.
• Call Forwarding Not Reachable - This forwards calls to the desired telephone number should your phone not be online for any reason. Example: The internet at your office is down, causing the phone system to not work, you could specify to forward calls to your cell phone.
