7.4 Convenient Functions in FRITZ!fon

With FRITZ!fon you can use all of the functions available on

your ISDN line. The graphic interface facilitates simple use

and management of these functions.

Call Forwarding

FRITZ!fon allows you to forward incoming calls. This can be

useful when you are temporarily at another workplace and

want to receive your calls there.

1. To activate call forwarding, open the FRITZ!fon settings

and click the “ISDN” page.

2. Click the “Call forwarding” button and then “New en-

try”.

3. The “Call Forwarding” window is opened. Enter here the

number for which FRITZ!fon accepts incoming calls.

4. In the “Forward to” field, enter the number at which you

want to take the incoming calls.

5. Finally, specify the condition under which calls should

be forwarded.

This feature can be used on the internal S

bus of a PBX only

if the PBX supports the ISDN supplementary service “Call

Forwarding” and conforms to the ISDN operator’s switching

protocol.

Pick Up Call from the Answering Machine

You can screen incoming calls by having FRITZ!fon take the

call first. When the answering machine has been activated

on the “Answering Machine” page and the option “Hear in-

coming messages” has been selected, you can screen in-

coming messages as they are recorded. For the answering

machine to pick up the call, wait until the answering ma-

chine becomes active or click the “Answer” button in the

FRITZ!fon message window.
