Reverse Transfer
REVERSE TRANSFER
Calls ringing or recalling at a station, a hunt group, or a transfer-to-park location can be picked
up at any other station, using this feature. Calls on hold can also be picked up from stations and
from transfer-to-park locations. A user can reverse transfer a call from a station or a hunt group
on another node.
If more than one call is ringing or holding at the station or hunt group, a priority list determines
which call is reverse transferred. Calls are selected in the following order, and if more than one
call of the same type is at the station, the calls are picked up in the order they were received:
1. Ringing calls
2. Camped-on calls
3. Holding outside calls
4. Holding intercom calls
If a call is reverse transferred from a hunt group announcement or overflow station, and a sta-
tion in the hunt group becomes available, the call will be disconnected from your station
immediately when answered by the hunt group station.
Group Call Pick-up: When the Group Call Pick-Up feature is enabled, a call ringing in to a
hunt group or one of its stations can be picked up at any other station. Users can enter the
Reverse Transfer feature code (4) and dial a hunt group’s pilot number to pick up a call that is
ringing in to the hunt group’s pilot number or to any station within that hunt group. See
page 144 for details about the Group Call Pick-Up feature.
NOTE: Group Call Pick-up does not affect DSS lamp status any differently than standard hand
group calls or individual calls.
There is a programmable station flag called “Transient Call Indication On Call Answer” that
determines whether the station user will see a call display when reverse transferring a call (or
using a secondary extension button). If the flag is enabled, the display will indicate whether the
call was ringing, recalling, transferred, or holding at the other station.
TO REVERSE TRANSFER A CALL:
EITHER, Lift the handset (Inter-Tel phones can remain on hook) and enter the
Reverse Transfer (Call Pick-Up) feature code (4), then dial the extension or pilot num-
ber where the call is ringing or holding. You are automatically connected to the caller.
