Rerouted Calls
Some users may decide to reroute their calls to your console, or the system may be programmed to reroute certain types of calls or all calls made at given times to your console.
The calls that are rerouted to your console may be one of four types:
•Calls a user has forwarded (Follow Me, Busy or No Answer).
•Calls to a given number rerouted by system programming.
•Calls on certain trunks if incoming calls on certain trunks are always “transferred” to your console.
•If the user dials a number that is rejected by the system for any reason, Intercept Handling may be programmed to reroute the call to your console.
Call Forwarding
When a user has forwarded his or her calls to your console, incoming calls to that extension will ring your console. When you answer, the called party information will appear in the Destination area.
Note that the Destination area displays the name of the called party, the called party’s number, and the type of Call Forwarding that the called party programmed and that caused the call to be rerouted to your console (Follow Me, Busy or No Answer).
Also, two softkeys are always available in this situation:
[Set Serial Call] and [Redial Dest]. Pressing [Redial Dest] will automatically redial the called party, overriding the Call Forwarding to your console.
System Rerouting
When the system is programmed to redirect calls to an extension to your console at all times, the message “Call Forward - Always Reroute” appears in the Destination area, below the user’s name and extension number.
Transferred Calls
If you transfer an incoming call to an extension, and the extension user transfers the call back to your console, the message ‘‘Transferred’’ appears in the Destination area.
Intercept Handling
When a user dials a number that the system rejects, the call is rerouted to your console. When you answer, the appropriate Intercept Handling message displays in the Destination area. See System Messages on page 64 for information about the messages that may display in that situation.
