Call Forwarding

Call Forward (CFWD) on the IP phone allows incoming calls to be forwarded to another destination. The phone sends the SIP message to the SIP proxy, which then forwards the call to the assigned destination.

An Administrator or User can configure CFWD on the phone-side by setting a mode for the phone to use (Account, Phone, or Custom). Once the mode is set, you can use the IP Phone UI to use the CFWD feature at Options->Call Forward or by pressing a configured Call Forward softkey/programmable key/extension module key.

The following describes the behavior for each CFWD mode.

•Account mode - The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in focus.

•Phone mode - The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD configuration for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to all other accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you configured is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but set to the same con- figuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone.

•Custom mode - The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all accounts. You can con- figure a specific mode (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On 3-Line LCD phones and the 6867i, you can set all accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 8 and 11-Line LCD phones and the 6739i, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts using a CopytoAll softkey.

Note:

If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

You can enable different call forwarding rules/modes independently (for example, you can set different phone numbers for Busy, All, and NoAns modes and then turn them on/off individually).

The following table describes the key and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LEDs when you enable CFWD on the IP Phone.

focus.	MWI LED OFF if all CFWD modes are disabled for the account in focus.
CFWD key LED OFF if all CFWD modes are disabled for the account in

You can enable/disable CFWD and set a CFWD key using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. You can set CFWD mode (Account, Phone, Custom) using the configuration files, Aastra Web UI or IP Phone UI.

Important Notes

•In the configuration files, the “call forward key mode” parameter in the section, “Configuring Call Forwarding” on page 5-191is in addition to the previous call forward parameter (call forward disabled). You can still use the previous call forwarding parameter if desired in the configuration files.

•In the IP Phone UI, you can access the Call Forwarding features at the path Options->Call Forward or by pressing a con- figured CFWD key.

•If you make changes to the configuration for CFWD via the IP Phone UI, you must refresh the Aastra Web UI screen to see the changes.

Note:

On the 6739i, you can configure a Call Forward softkey using the IP Phone UI also. For more information, see the Aastra Model 6739i IP Phone User Guide.
