Standard forwarding and temporary forwarding

help | 8 Forwarding | Call Forwarding Unconditional | Standard forwarding and temporary forwarding

If you activate the option “Forward all calls unconditionally”, you can also define whether you would like to forward certain calls to another subscriber (temporary forwarding) or use your standard forwarding setting:

Default Call Forwarding

The settings are always in effect when forwarding is enabled. These settings will be followed until you disable the forwarding again. You can apply these settings again the next time you forward your calls.

Permanent forwarding is activated by clicking on the “Forwarding” button. The settings for this can be defined during configuration under “Default Call Forwarding (switched on using forwarding button)”.

Temporary Call Forwarding

This forwarding is switched on and off separately. This is only in effect until you switch off this temporary call forwarding again. The default forwarding will automatically be activated the next time you activate call forwarding.

You can activate a temporary call forwarding by clicking on the “Forwardings” button. Under the “Call Forwarding Unconditional” tab you must activate the option “Temporary Call Forwarding” and enter the number to which the call should be forwarded to. Alternatively, you can start the dialog for configuring your forwardings by right-clicking on the “Forwarding” button. Then, select "Properties" in the context menu.

If you have defined “Call Forwarding Unconditional” for your calls, a corresponding icon appears in the toolbar . If you click on "Forwarding” again, the call forwarding function is deactivated.

If your forwarding is appropriately configured, you can also change the parameters for “Unconditional Call Forwarding” per remote inquiry (Changing Forwarding Unconditional by Remote Inquiry).

Furthermore, you can also activate unconditional call forwarding to another user directly from his terminal device.

To forward all calls (Unconditional Call Forwarding)

1 Open the Properties dialog, e.g. in the menu "Settings | Configure Forwarding...”, or by clicking on the "Forwardings" button: Switch to the "Call Forwarding Unconditional” tab.

2 Activate the option "Forward all Calls immediately" if you would like to activate the defined forwarding rule immediately (equivalent to activating the "Call Forwarding" button on the user interface) or leave the "Forward all Calls immediately" checkbox unchecked, if you would like to activate the defined Call Forwarding Unconditional later by clicking on the Call Forwarding button.

3 Turn on the "Default Call Forwarding (switched on using the Call Forwarding button)", in order to define where the calls should be forwarded when you click on the "Call Forwarding" button on the user interface.

The Call Forwarding destination can be

entered directly

you can select it from the Phonebook

4 Switch on “Temporary forwarding” in order to forward calls without changing the settings for the “Forwarding” button.

If you later switch off the forwarding via the user interface, the forwarding configured here will not be used the next time you switch it on using the “Forwarding” button: the settings found under “Default forwarding (switched on using forwarding button)” will be used.

This allows you to use a temporary forwarding without having to change your default forwarding and then having to restore it later.

5 Click on “OK” or switch to another tab in order to configure other forwardings.

If you have forwarded to your Standard Voice Box, the settings that you defined under the “Standard Voice Box” tab will be applied.

The parameters defined on this tab can also be changed from another phone line.
