Specifications

NOTE: Call Forwarding is an ASA feature and therefore requires the
assignment of the ASA jack. If the ASA jack assignment has not yet
been made, refer to “Automatic System Access” in this section before
attempting to administer this feature.
DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
When in CF mode, incoming calls on designated lines are connected to the
Voice Synthesis Processor (VSP), then while the caller is listening to the
’ message, the control unit dials the telephone number where calls are being
forwarded. When the person at the CF number answers, the system then
uses the conferencing feature to connect the two calls, and the call progresses
normally.
You have the option to change the message or you can have calls forwarded
without the message so that callers are unaware that their calls are being
forwarded. You can also change the call forwarding number from any Touch-
Tone phone.
Call Forwarding requires the following:
l A programmed button with green and red lights labeled CFIDXD.
You use the CFlDXD button to activate either Call Forwarding or Direct
Extension Dialing (discussed later in this section). To put the system in
either of these modes, or in normal mode, you touch the CFlDXD button.
The green and red lights show you what mode you are in.
b If the system is in normal mode, touch the button twice to put the
system in CF mode
Only red light on = CF mode
NOTE:
You must first assign a CF number before touching the
CFlDXD button to put the system in CF mode.
b Touch the button a third time to put the system back into norma
mode.
Green and red light off = normal mode
l A valid 5-digit password to gain access from a remote location to enter a
call forwarding number or to change the current call forwarding number.
To enter a password, follow the administration procedure discussed’later
in this entry.
l That there can be more than one CFlDXD button in the system, but a
voice terminal can have only one CFlDXD button:
If two or more users have a CFlDXD button programmed on their voice
terminals, each of them can turn the features on and off. For example, if
one of these users activates Call Forwarding, the red light goes on next to
the CFlDXD button on all the voice terminals that have that button. When
a person deactivates the feature by touching the CFlDXD button, the light
goes off next to the button on all the voice terminals that have the
programmed CFlDXD button.
