Parameter – 
call forward key mode

Basic Settings->Preferences->General

Configuration Files aastra.cfg, <mac>.cfg

Sets the mode for how the phone uses “call forwarding” (CFWD)
•

account 
The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account 
basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in 
focus.

•

phone 
The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD configuration 
for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you 
configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to 
all other accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you 
configured is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but set to 
the same configuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make 
changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on 
the phone.

•

custom 
The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific 
account or all accounts. You can configure a specific mode (All, 
Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all 
accounts. On the 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i phones, you can set all 
accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 
6757i, and 6757i CT, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or 
copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts 
using a CopytoAll softkey.

Notes:
1.

If there is no CFWD key configured on the phone or it is removed, 

you can still set the CFWD modes via the IP Phone UI at the path 
Options->Call Forward.
2.

If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the 

mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set 
to “Phone”.
3.

When configuring a CFWD mode (All, Busy, No Answer) for an 

account, you must configure a CFWD number for that mode in order for 
the mode to be enabled.
