Warning users if their calls are redirected
You can warn analog phone users if they have features active that may redirect
calls. For example, if the user has activated call forwarding, you can administer a
setting to play a special dial tone when the user goes off-hook. See ‘‘
Special Dial
Tone’’ on page 656 for more information.
Security
Use the
list call-forwarding command to get general information and to identify
unauthorized Call Forwarding feature activation. The list shows the station name,
station number, and forwarded-to destination number.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
Users who do not have permission to call out of the building may not do so
with Call Forwarding.
Considerations
Calls can be forwarded only once. Consider the following scenario. Extension A
forwards its calls to extension B. Extension B forwards its calls to extension C.
Calls made to extension A:
■ Ring at A, if possible
■ Ring at B, if possible
■ Redirect to extension A’s coverage path, if available and A’s coverage
criteria are satisfied when applied at B
■ Are not forwarded to extension C
There is no maximum number of calls that can be forwarded simultaneously.
You can administer a phone to receive a redirection notification signal when a call
is forwarded.
The system restricts users from forwarding calls to a number that they are not
allowed to call.
If
save translation is run after call forwarding is activated for a phone,
forwarding status and destination number are saved to tape.
