Call Forwarding 

You can warn analog phone users if they have features active that may redirect 
calls. For example, if the user has activated call forwarding, you can administer a 
setting to play a special dial tone when the user goes off-hook. See 

‘‘Special Dial 

Tone’’ on page 656

 for more information. 

Use the 

 command to get general information and to identify 

unauthorized Call Forwarding feature activation. The list shows the station name, 
station number, and forwarded-to destination number.

!

Calls can be forwarded only once. Consider the following scenario. Extension A 
forwards its calls to extension B. Extension B forwards its calls to extension C. 
Calls made to extension A:

■

Ring at A, if possible

■

Ring at B, if possible

■

Redirect to extension A’s coverage path, if available and A’s coverage 
criteria are satisfied when applied at B

■

Are not forwarded to extension C

There is no maximum number of calls that can be forwarded simultaneously.

You can administer a phone to receive a redirection notification signal when a call 
is forwarded.

The system restricts users from forwarding calls to a number that they are not 
allowed to call.

If 

 is run after call forwarding is activated for a phone, 

forwarding status and destination number are saved to tape.
