Authorization Codes and
Remote Call Forwarding 0
In Release 6.0 and later Key or Hybrid/PBX mode systems, forwarding features,
including Centrex Transfer via Remote Call Forwarding, but excluding Follow Me,
can be activated or deactivated at a multiline telephone by entering the
authorization code for the extension from which calls are to be forwarded. The
user enters the authorization code, then activates or deactivates the forwarding
feature in the normal fashion. This is especially useful for a single-line telephone
user who must include a Pause character in a Centrex Transfer via Remote Call
Forwarding dialing sequence, because the character cannot be dialed at a single-
line telephone. It is also useful when activating Call Forwarding or Remote Call
Forwarding at phantom stations, or via remote access (e.g. from another switch in
the network). No other features can be used by entering an authorization code in
this fashion.

The physical connection for the CTI link is an MLX port on a 008 MLX or 408 MLX

link interface card plugged into the customer’s server. The feature is available for
Hybrid/PBX mode systems only.
NOTE:
The NetWare server software version must be 3.12, 4.1 or 4.11.
The 008 MLX and 408 MLX modules must have firmware vintage other
than 29. If the module has firmware 29, programming a CTI link on the
module is prevented. An earlier or later vintage firmware is supported.
