- Choose the source, the telephone number you would like to define your rule for.e.g. you choose the phone extension of a colleague Clara.

- In order to set this rule, select the condition "Always".

Call forwarding conditions
There are four call forwarding conditions. In order to use them, you need to define a destination to which the call should be forwarded to.
- Define the call forwarding destination via the dropdown.
What do the call forwarding conditions mean:
- Always
The call will always be forwarded. The caller will then be forwarded directly to the defined destination.
- Busy
Your extension is busy. Where should the call be forwarded to?
The caller receives a busy signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.
- No answer
You are not answering the incoming call within a defined time limit. The time limit can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds by clicking on the number dropdown.
- Click on the number in the Dropdown.
The caller receives a waiting signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.
- Not registered
Your device is not registered on pbx (e.g. broken cable etc.). All incoming calls will be forwarded to a defined destination.
Star codes (DTMF)
The star code for the activation of call forwarding profiles is *10 (followed by the profile number of the call forwarding profile. Find the profile number on the administration portal).
- e.g. to activate profile number 3, please dial *103.
By using star codes you can also activate dedicated call forwarding rules like *11NUMBER. If you do so, this rule will always be set for the default profile independently from which profile is active right now.
However, you will automatically activate the default profile, if you switch on a call forwarding rule via the star code.
- e.g.:
- You have 3 profiles.
- The active profile is profile #2
- Dial *110049892343123
- The rule ”always forward calls to 0049892343123“ will be set and the default profile will be activated.
