Call forwarding
You can configure various call forwarding scenarios. For this purpose you can use the call forwarding profiles.
Under the telephone menu you can only edit the default profle (catch all / always) to be found under the call forwarding profiles. You can edit the remaining call forwarding profiles via Ncontrol or via the administration portal. For more information, refer to the administration portal manual and the Ncontrol manual.
The following call forwarding options are available. You can activate or deactivate call forwardings via the telephone menu's call settings.
Permanent call forwarding (always)
All incoming calls will be forwarded directly to the predefined telephone number.
Forward if busy (busy)
New calls will be forwarded immediately, when coming in during an active call. This call forwarding option functions only, if the Call Waiting function is deactivated.
Delayed call forwarding (no answer)
Call forwarding condition: You do not answer the incoming call within a defined time period (timeout). The timeout can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds. Where should the incoming call be forwarded after the specified time has elapsed? The caller receives a call waiting signal and is then forwarded to the defined destination.
If unavailable (not registered)
The option functions only if the end device is not registered to the telephone system:
- When the Internet connection fails or there is no LAN connection.
and
- If “call forwarding …if unavailable” is programmed for a direct extension (e.g. extension 123 - John Doe) and a caller calls the direct dial number for the extension directly, call forwarding applies. If the extension is a member of a queue or a group and the queue or group receives a call, call forwarding for the individual extension no longer applies! In general, the destination should always be an available destination number. I.e., make sure that no voicemail or announcement comes on.
Always depose
Always depose an available telephone number as target. Ensure that no voice mail or other announcement picks up automatically.
When disconnecting
When disconnecting the connection between the end device and the telephone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for the call forwarding to work. Once the end device is reconnected to the telephone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for it to register.
Call forwarding codes
Call forwardings can alternatively be activated through * codes:
*10 | Activation of the call forwarding profile |
*11 + destination | Permanent call forwarding to telephone number |
**11 | Cancel permanent call forwarding |
*12 + destination | If no answer after a specific time, delayed call forward to telephone number |
**12 | Cancel delayed call forwarding |
*13 + destination | If busy, forward to telephone number |
**13 | Cancel call forwarding if busy |
*14 + destination | Call forwarding if unavailable |
**14 | Cancel call forwarding if unavailable |
Registering multiple bases
When registering multiple bases, be sure to always do so separately. This makes it easier to register the handsets to the base. That is, if you would like to register 24 handsets for example, you must have 2 bases. First, take base 1 and 12 of the 24 handsets. First, register base 1, then the 12 handsets, one after the other, to the telephone system and the base as described above. Once you have registered all 12 handsets, please turn off the first base and repeat these steps for the second base. That is, now register base 2 and the remaining 12 handsets to the telephone system and the base.
This prevents transmission interference or problems with assigning the handsets.
Before assigning the handsets to the bases, you first have to register the bases and the individual handsets to the telephone system (see A. Initial Operation / 2. Adding an extension). You can then assign the handsets to the bases as described above.
KIRK repeater
The Spectralink Repeater extends the coverage of your Spectralink solution. While the Repeater does not increase the number of data traffic channels, it does provide for a greater physical spread of the channels and therefore, extends the range covered by the bases.
