Follow these steps to set up call forwarding when you are away from your phone.
Procedure
Step 1 From the User Options Menu web page, click Forward all calls to a different
number. (If you need help accessing the Menu page, see the “How to Log On to
the User Options Web Pages” section on page 4-7.)
The Forward Your Calls page appears.
Step 2 Check the check box next to the line from which you want your incoming calls
forwarded.
Step 3 Choose to send calls to “Voice Mail” or to “this number.”
If you choose Voice Mail, your calls will be forwarded directly to your voice mail
system without ringing your desktop phone.
Step 4 If you choose to forward your incoming calls to a specified number, enter the
phone number or extension in the box provided.
Note Be sure to enter the number exactly as you would if you were to call
that number. For example, enter an access code such as 9 or the area
code, if necessary. Your system administrator might restrict the call
forwarding feature to numbers within your company.
Step 5 Click Update.
Step 6 When you are finished, click Return to the Menu or Log Off at the bottom of the
Call Forwarding page.
Tip You can use call forwarding to send your calls to an IP Phone or to a traditional
analog telephone. For more information about call forwarding, including how
call forwarding works with your voice mail system, see the “Using Call
Forwarding” section on page 3-7.
