Chapter 4: Diverting incoming calls
Introduction to call diversion
You can divert incoming calls to another extension. You can set this up both for your own and
other telephones. You can also divert calls to your telephone. In all these variants, you can
choose:
• Happen always
• Only if the telephone is busy
• Only if a call is not answered within a specified time period.
• You can arrange to have calls signalled on both your own phone and another external
telephone, for example your GSM mobile. This feature is called twinning.
Additionally, you can set up as well as change all call diverts from outside the telephone
system.
