		her own phone. (This feature

		access as well.)

In Release 4.0 or later systems, Forward/Follow Me and Remote Call Forward provide a Delayed Call Forwarding option that allows calls to ring at the forwarding extension. This way of covering calls need not be temporary.

In a Release 4.0 or later system, a manager answers some calls before they are forwarded. When the manager does not answer, calls ring at his or her secretary’s extension after a delay.
