Line Redirection 145
While you are programming Line Redirection you will only receive
an indication of calls that actually ring at your telephone.
The system does not check that the number you give for line
redirection is a valid one. If you redirect to an invalid number,
redirection will fail. Using an External Autodialer to enter the
redirection number helps avoid this possibility. An External
Autodialer used for line redirection must have a specific line
programmed onto it.
If you use the
button to redirect all your lines, it is important
that you wait until all the lines on
telephone light up before
pressing [Hold) or
If you press [Hold] Or before all
the lines light up, those lines not lit will not be redirected.
Be aware of the consequences of redirecting your lines. If you
redirect your line to your home, for instance, and someone calls
you from home, they will get a busy signal when the system tries
to call the telephone they are using. Companies with offices in
different time zones should avoid situations in which the lines
from the eastern office are redirected to the west and those from
the west are redirected to the east. This could result in a costly
long distance redirection loop.
The system can be set up so that redirected calls give a brief ring
on telephones in the
system as they are redirected.
These calls cannot be answered within the system until you
cancel redirection.
The line chosen for redirecting calls on other lines can still be
used normally when it is not busy on a redirected call. To avoid
redirection failing because the chosen line is in use, choose a
line pool with several lines in it.
When redirecting an external call to an external number, note the
following restriction: the incoming call must be on a disconnect
supervised line.
In certain situations, callers may experience lower volume levels
when you use Line Redirection.
