extension remote
Use this sub-command to configure remote extensions.
A remote extension reaches an external phone by automatically selecting a line from a trunk and
dialing the phone number. For example, a remote extension could reach an employee’s cell
phone or home phone, or a phone at a branch office.
A caller can connect to a remote extension through the auto attendant, or can be transferred to
a remote extension by a call cascade. A user at a local extension can manually transfer a caller
to a remote extension, or can dial a remote extension directly. If the remote extension is busy or
unanswered, the system can route the call using the remote extension’s call cascade.
For example, a caller reaches the auto attendant and dials a local extension. The user is not
there, so the call is unanswered. The call cascade of the local extension can be configured to
transfer unanswered calls to a remote extension. The remote extension can be configured to
dial the user’s cellular phone. This way the user is available outside the office.
