Configuring Your System

The Diversion field with a SIP header is often used by the call server to inform the phone of a call’s history. For example, when a phone has been set to enable call forwarding, the Diversion header allows the receiving phone to indicate who the call was from, and from which phone number it was forwarded. (For more information, refer to Header Support on page B-4.) .
