38CHAPTER 3: BASIC TELEPHONE OPERATION
■The call is forwarded to the called party’s call coverage point (by default, voice mail; see Configuring a Call Coverage Point).
■If the called party’s default call coverage point is No Coverage, the call is returned to (rings back at) your extension. If you are unavailable, the call is forwarded to your call coverage point.
Attended Transfer In an attended transfer, you announce the call to the recipient. You can either use the Transfer button or the transfer feature code.
To announce a transfer:
1While on a call, press Transfer. The call is placed on hold, you hear a dial tone, and the system prompts you enter a destination number.
2Dial the extension number to which you want to transfer the call or choose the number from the Directory or Speed Dial lists.
The VCX call processor dials the call.
3When the recipient answers, announce the call. Note that, at this point you cannot return to the original caller.
■If the recipient wants to take the call, press Transfer or press the Complete soft button. Hang up.
■If the recipient does not want to take the call, press the Release button. The call you tried to transfer is now on hold. Return to the original caller.
Serial Transfer A serial transfer is like an unattended transfer except that when the destination hangs up at the end of the call, the caller rings back to you as the attendant who made the transfer. With your help, the caller can make a single call to the organization and make a series of internal connections with a series of transfers. You can either use a mapped button on the Attendant Console or the serial transfer feature code:
Mapped Button Method
1Press the mapped Attendant Serial Calling button on the Attendant Console.
2Press the button mapped to the called party’s extension on the Attendant Console.
3Press the mapped Attendant Serial Calling button again on the Attendant Console to complete the call.
