CALL

FOLLOWING (FORWARDING)

Description

 

 

Allows users who are away

from

their phone to receive calls at another phone. The feature

is functionally equivalent to

Call

Forwarding.

Users can log in their PDC at another voice terminal and receive their calls at that terminal. I.egging in a PDC at a terminal automatically logs the PDC out at any other terminal. PDCs will always have an associated home terminal. If a PDC is not logged in anywhere, calls to the PDC will ring at the home terminal.

Logging in a FPDC automatically logs the FPDC out at any other voice terminal. However, logging out a FPDC does not log the FPDC in at another terminal. Calls to FPDCs not logged in at a terminal may be directed to the attendant (administrable and strongly recommended).

When a PDC is logged in at another terminal (away terminal), dialing the PDC from the away terminal directs the call to the PDC’s home terminal.

To log in a PDC, the user goes off-hook at the “away” terminal, enters “**” and their PDC twice. The PDC logout procedure is similar; after going off-hook and receiving dial tone, the user enters “**” followed by their PDC and then by a “0.” A “**0” entered at a voice terminal will log out all PDCs and FPDCs logged in at that voice terminal. Confirmation Tone is returned to a user who correctly completes one of these procedures.

The following call types or features are voice terminal oriented (associated with stations rather .than PDCs) and do not follow a user who logs in at another terminal.

In R1V1 systems, Direct Station Selection (DSS)/Flex DSS calls do not receive call following treatment. This limitation does not apply to R1V2 systems.

Considerations

Call Following provides maximum flexibility to system users who are away from their voice terminals. In addition, visitors can receive calls by logging in an assigned FPDC.
