The use of Forward and Follow Me in networked systems is as follows:
■For Release 6.0 and later systems, Follow Me is not supported across the private network.
■For Release 6.1 and later systems, Call Forwarding is used to forward calls directly to a non-local extension; you do not have to enable Remote Call Forwarding. When programming call forwarding to a non-local extension, add # at the end of a number.
■For Release 6.0 systems, Remote Call Forwarding can be used in combination with Caller ID on a loop-start PSTN line connected to an 800 LS-ID line/trunk module. The LS-ID Delay option must be programmed to On for each line connected to the 800 LS-ID module. To pass Caller ID information across the private network when a call is transferred, set the Remote Call Forwarding Delay to one ring. Transfer of the call must be completed before the call is forwarded.
The user at the extension that first receives the Caller ID call from the PSTN turns Remote Call Forwarding on and specifies forwarding across the private network, over PRI tandem trunks only, to a non-local extension with an MLX display telephone.
Redirected transfer calls do not forward across the network.
Private networked trunks cannot be programmed to ring into calling groups, because tandem trunks are dial-in facilities.
When calling group extensions are included in the non-local dial plan, calls to non- local calling groups are made just as calls to other non-local dial plan extensions are, using the calling groups’ extensions. Calls can be transferred to non-local calling groups. If the transfer is completed while listening to a Delay Announcement message, the announcement will not play again.
For Release 6.0, all members of a calling group must be connected to the same local system.
In Release 6.1 and later, a calling group may have a single non-local member that is defined under the Uniform Dial Plan as existing on another MERLIN LEGEND Communications System connected by a tandem trunk. A calling group can have a single non-local member or several local extensions. The same calling group cannot have both local members and a non-local member.
In Release 6.1 and later systems, a calling group containing a single non-local member can be used for most of the same purposes as a calling group containing only local extensions. This includes:
