LED indicators

Call LED:

  • Rapidly flashes red with an incoming call

  • Continuous, bright red while dialling, during a call and when a call is placed on hold

  • Continuous, somewhat less intensive red indicates a missed call

Function key LEDs:

These keys are equal to the first four virtual function keys. The standard setting is Line. I.e., if the first four freely programmable function keys are not programmed, the function keys with LEDs can be used as line keys. To find out how these keys are programmed for your extension, refer to the configuration of the Administration portal of your telephone.

  • Continuous green when the line is in use

  • Slowly flashing green when the line has a call on hold

1.10. Call forwarding

You can configure various call forwarding scenarios. For this purpose, you can use the call forwarding profiles.

You can activate or deactivate call forwardings via the telephone menu call settings.

Tip

Under the phone menu, you can only edit the default profle (catch all/always) to be found under the call forwarding profiles. You can edit the remaining call forwarding profiles in the Ncontrol or Administration portal. For more information, refer to the Administration portal and the Ncontrol documentation.

You can select between the following call forwarding options:

Permanent call forwarding (always)

All incoming calls will be forwarded directly to the predefined telephone number.

Forward if busy (busy)

New calls will be forwarded immediately, when coming in during an active call. This call forwarding option functions only, if the Call Waiting function is deactivated.

Delayed call forwarding (no answer)

Call forwarding condition: You do not answer the incoming call within a defined time period (timeout).

The timeout can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds.

Where should the incoming call be forwarded after the specified time has elapsed?

The caller receives a call waiting signal and is then forwarded to the defined destination.

If unavailable (not registered)

This option functions only if the end device is not registered to the telephone system:

  • If the Internet connection fails or there is no LAN connection.

or

  • If Call forwarding …if unavailable is programmed for a direct extension (e.g. extension 123 - John Doe) and a caller calls the direct dial number for the extension, call forwarding applies. If the extension is a member of a queue or a group and the queue or group receives a call, call forwarding for the individual extension no longer applies. In general, the destination should always be an available destination number. I.e., make sure that no voicemail or announcement comes on.

Note

The display on your phone indicates whether or not Call forwarding is active.

Note

Call forwardings can alternatively be activated with * codes:

*10

Activate the call forwarding profile

*11 + destination

Permanent call forwarding to phone number

**11

Cancel permanent call forwarding

*12 + destination

If no answer after a specific time, delayed call forwarding to a phone number

**12

Cancel delayed call forwarding

*13 + destination

If busy, forward to a phone number

**13

Cancel call forwarding if busy

*14 + destination

Call forwarding if unavailable

**14

Cancel call forwarding if unavailable

Note

When disconnecting the connection between the end device and the phone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for the call forwarding to work. Once the end device is reconnected to the phone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for it to register.
