Call forward is a voice productivity feature that can to direct all of your calls to different ephone.

There are 2 different types of call forward:

1) Dynamic call forwarding – forward calls on the cisco phone itself.

To forward call you can press CFwdAll softkey on ephone, enter the phone number you want forward a calls to and press End softkey or # button. This step by step process show next pictures.

You can see icon in upper-right corner to indicate that phone has been forwarded.

When we will stop phone to forwarding calls, press the CFwdALL softkey again.

 

2) Static call forwarding – configure forwarding within cisco IOS. These are more options that offer dynamic call forwarding method. There are these options that can be configured at ephone-DN.

 

all – forward all incoming call

busy – forward calls when phone is busy

night-service – forward calls when CME is in night-service active time mode

noan – forward calls after a specified amount of time when phone has not been answered

 

example of config:
