Call Forwarding

The call forwarding feature 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.

Call forwarding is disabled by default. You can configure call forwarding on a phone-wide basis or on multi-line phones on a per-line basis. If you have configured call forwarding on an individual line, then the settings for this line are used; otherwise, the phone-wide call forward settings are used.

You can configure call forwarding on all phones (global settings) or on specific lines (local settings) of a single phone.

For call forwarding you can set the following:

Call forward mode

Destination number

Number of rings before forwarding the call (from 1 to 9 rings)

The following are the call forward modes you can set:
