Forwarding All Calls to Another Number

To set up call forwarding on your primary line, press CFwdALL and enter a target phone number exactly as you would dial it from your phone. For example, enter an access code or the area code, if necessary. You can forward your calls to a traditional analog phone or to another IP phone, although your system administrator can restrict the call forwarding feature to numbers within your company. Call forwarding is phone line specific. If a call reaches you on a line where call forwarding is not enabled, the call will ring as usual. Your system administrator can change call forwarding conditions for your phone lines.

To cancel call forwarding on your primary line, press CFwdALL.

To verify that call forwarding is enabled on your primary line, look for:

•The call forward icon above the primary phone number: .

•The call forward target number in the status line.

Do Not Disturb

Use the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature to block incoming calls on your phone with a busy tone. When DND is turned on, the DND blocking feature applies to all the lines on your phone. Received calls are not logged to the Missed Calls directory on your phone.

When DND and Call Forward All are both enabled on your phone, Call Forward All takes precedence on incoming calls. That is, calls will be forwarded and the caller will not hear a busy tone.

If DND is not enabled on your phone, see your system administrator.

To activate DND, use the following method:

1.Press the more soft key to locate the DND soft key.

2.Press the DND soft key. A display text message indicates that the phone is in Do-Not-Disturb mode.

Note Pressing the DND soft key immediately forwards the call to the call-forward destination set on the phone. If the call-forward destination is not set, pressing the DND soft key disables the ringer.

To deactivate the Do-Not-Disturb feature, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
