84 / Forwarding your calls

Tip - If you are one of a group of people who regularly forward their calls to one another, be aware that it is possible to set up forward loops where a call is forwarded from one telephone to another in a circle, and is never answered anywhere.

Overriding Call Forward

If you call someone who has their calls forwarded to you, your call rings at that person’s telephone even though they are forwarding their calls to you.

Changing the automatic Call Forward settings for a telephone

Call forwarding occurs automatically when a call is not answered or the line is busy. These automatic options are changed in programming.

For step-by-step instructions, see “Change where a call goes when there is no answer” on page 23.

Changing Forward no answer

Forward no answer redirects unanswered calls to another telephone on your Norstar system.

Tip - If the Norstar set is a member of a Hunt Group, the Call Forward no answer feature is overridden and the Hunt Group call continues to ring until the hunt time has expired. For more information on Hunt Groups see “Programming Hunt Groups” on page 135.

Line Redirection takes precedence over Forward no answer.
