Account - (default) 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 - 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 configuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone.

Custom - The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all accounts. You can configure a specific state (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On the 6731i, you can set all accounts to ALL On or ALL Off.

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”.

3. Click to save your changes.

The changes takes affect immediately without a reboot.
