See all your call forwardings at a glace.

In order to edit a call forwarding profile, click on the pen icon on the right side.

In the call forwarding profile view

Here you can edit your call forwarding profile. Set a name for the profile.

Then, adjust the rule set to your profile.

Set up and edit profile

Follow the steps below when setting up a call forwarding profile:

- Add a new call forwarding profile. This allows you to manage multiple call profiles for your extension. E.g. for office, home office, holidays, etc.

- Specify a name for your profile.

Now, you can define a rule set for the call forwarding profile. Here you define a behavior that you want to occur in a certain situation.

There are four call forwarding conditions:

  • Always

  • Busy

  • No answer

  • Not registered

- Select one or several call forwarding conditions and define the target, a number or e.g. voicemail to which the caller shall be forwarden to.

- Click on save.

What do the call forwarding options mean:

  • Always

The call will always be forwarded to the number defined here.

  • Busy

Here you can define to what number or voicemail the call shall be forwarded to, in case your extension is busy.

  • No answer

You are not answering the incoming call within a defined time limit (timeout). The timeout can be set freely. Where should the incoming call be forwarded to after the defined timeout is reached. The caller receives a waiting signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.

  • Not registered

Your device is not registered on the telephone system (e.g. broken cable etc.). All incoming calls will be forwarded to a defined destination. The caller will then be forwarded directly to the defined destination.

Up to 10 call forwarding profiles are available per extension. One of the profiles is the default call forwarding profile, which is automatically available on each extension.The other 9 call forwarding profiles can be freely defined by the user.

After the end device is disconnected from the telephone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for the call forwarding to work. When the end device is reconnected to the telephone system, it can also take up to 60 seconds for it to register.

The function "Call forwarding - always" only works if the end device is not registered to the telephone system. E.g. when Internet connection fails or there is no LAN connection. Furthermore, call forwarding only works with a direct extension. I.e., if "Call forwarding - always" is set for a direct extension (e.g. Extension 123 - John Doe) and a caller phones the extension’s direct dial directly, call forwarding does apply. 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 does not work. In general, the destination should always be an available telephone number. I.e., make sure voice mail or an announcement does not come on.

Please note that the settings for the parallel ring are now to be found under the tab Extension and voicemail.

Enter any additional number to forward the call (e.g. your mobile phone) to. In this case, the desktop telephone and the mobile telephone both ring and you can select what telephone to answer. If the call is answered with the mobile phone, it can no longer be answered with the PBX.
