Setting Call Forwards on Analogue or Virtual Extensions

Question

How do I set a Call Forwarding on a Digital or Analogue station?

 

 

Answer

Call Forwards can be set on both Physical and Virtual extensions. Before setting Call Forwarding please use CM 15 to check if call forwarding is allowed for the class that the station belongs to. By default, call forwarding externally is barred. Follow the link below for further details:
