2.3.1.5 Remote Extensions

With TalkSwitch's Remote Extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly from your home/office to any phone number you choose. Your cell phone, pager or any out-of-office number becomes a 'Remote Extension' of your office system. You can have calls forwarded directly or screen callers. If you are unavailable or choose not to accept calls, they can be transferred back to your office (e.g. to voicemail or another extension) or forwarded to another out-of-office telephone number (e.g. to a business partner's cell phone) depending upon the Cascade configuration.

TalkSwitch assigns a Remote Extension number to each call forwarding telephone number. Calls can then be forwarded by the Auto Attendant or transferred by someone in your office simply by dialing the Remote Extension number. There are 8 Remote Extensions available per TalkSwitch unit.

If a TalkSwitch has Unit ID 2, then the Remote Extension numbers are 221 -

Networked 228.

Choose a Remote Extension to configure. After you have activated a Remote Extension, you must enter a phone number in order for the extension to be considered active and usable by the system.
