Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This section explains how to transfer calls using the [

] button on a system

phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. Transferring a call lets users
“pass” a call from one extension to another. Users can transfer both outside
calls and intercom calls to other extensions.

To transfer calls to an extension with a single touch, program the extension

number on an Auto Dial button—see Auto Dialing for more information.

To transfer calls to an extension for which you have a Manual Signaling
button, press [

] before pressing the Manual Signaling button.

While a call is being transferred, the caller hears ringing if Ring on Transfer
(#119) is Active. If it is Not Active and Music On Hold (#602) is Active and
an audio source is connected to the system, the caller hears music-on-hold

while the call is being transferred to the destination extension. If Music On

Hold is Not Active and Ring on Transfer (#119) is Not Active, the caller
hears silence.

The system is factory-set to return a transferred call, after it rings four times
at the destination extension, to the extension that transferred it. You can use
Transfer Return Rings (#105) to change the number of rings for all system
extensions. You can use Transfer Return Extension (#306) to identify a
different extension to which unanswered calls from a particular extension
should return.

If users transfer a call, Caller ID information (if it is available) is passed to
the destination extension.

If you have a voice messaging system, you can use Voice Mailbox
Transfer to transfer a caller directly to a subscriber’s voice mailbox.

An extension programmed with Call Waiting (#316) cannot transfer either of

two active calls.

When you press [

], the call is put on hold and its associated green light

winks.

A transferred call appears on the destination extension’s intercom button
unless the destination extension has a line button for the line on which the
call was received.

When a call you transferred is answered, if you began the call on an

individual line, the red light next to the line button goes on; if you began the

call on a line in a pool, the call no longer appears on your phone.

If you transfer a call to an extension for which you have an Auto Dial button

■

■

and the call is unanswered, the green light next to the Auto Dial button

flutters when the call returns to your extension.
