which means that a call is forwarded if it is not answered within a certain time. 3. On
busy, which means that a call is forwarded if the extension is busy.
See section ”Call forwarding”.
DIVERSION BYPASS This is useful for letting urgent calls through to an extension where diversion is active.
See section ”Call forwarding”.
