70 Chapter 9 Transferring calls

Optimizing Outbound Transfer

When CallPilot transfers a call to an external telephone number using Outbound Transfer, two lines are used. An incoming line connects a caller to a mailbox and an outgoing line transfers a caller to an Outbound Transfer telephone number. Both lines remain in use while the caller connects to the Outbound Transfer telephone number.

To optimize the use of CallPilot lines, the Outbound Transfer call to an external telephone number can transfer to the incoming line to make the outgoing call. This type of transfer is called a Link transfer.

Note: You can perform a Link transfer only if the CallPilot line is equipped with Link transfer capability. The most common type of line that supports Link transfer is a Centrex line. If Link transfer is programmed for an Outbound Transfer and your CallPilot lines do not support this feature, the caller is disconnected. Ask your System Administrator before programming a Link transfer.

To perform a Link transfer with Outbound Transfer you must add £before the Outbound Transfer telephone number.

For example, the telephone number looks like:

£fififi⁄¤‹›

where:

£instructs CallPilot to use the incoming line to perform the transfer

fififi⁄¤‹›is the telephone number dialed

Programming Outbound Transfer when CallPilot is behind a PBX
