Example: User A calls User B, who configures call forwarding to User C after User A activates call
back

User A calls User B. User A activates call back because User B is not available. Before User B becomes
available to User A, User B sets up call forwarding to User C. User A may call back User B or User C,
depending on the call-forwarding settings for User B.

Example: User A and User C call User B at the same time

User A and User C call User B at the same time, and User A and User C activate call back because User B is
unavailable. A call-back activation message displays on the phones of User A and User C.

When User B becomes available, both User A and User C receive an audio alert, and a message displays on
both phones that states that User B is available. The User, that is, User A or User C, that dials User B first
connects to User B.

Call Divert

Call divert allows a user to transfer a ringing, connected, or held call directly to voicemail. After a call is
diverted, the line becomes available to place or receive new calls. For call divert to work, the user must press
the call divert softkey/button on the phone.

When a caller calls a user, the assistant attends the call through shared line and divert the call directly to the
user's voice mailbox. The Call Divert softkey appears in the connected state.

When a conference participant presses the call divert softkey/button on the phone, the remaining conference
participants receive the voice mailbox greeting of the party that pressed the softkey/button.

Members of a hunt list can invoke call divert if the call is direct. They cannot invoke call divert if they are
reached as a member of a hunt list, and a message ‘Feature is unavailable’ displays on the phone.

In some cases, call divert can detect a busy condition on the voice-messaging ports. (The call cannot divert
to a busy voice-messaging system, but the original call gets maintained. Busy will display on the phone on
which call divert was invoked to indicate that the call was not diverted.)

The calling and called parties may divert the call to their voice mailboxes if both simultaneously press the
divert softkey/button. The voice mailbox of the calling party would contain a portion of the outgoing greeting
of the called party. Similarly, the voice mailbox of the called party would contain a portion of the outgoing
greeting of the calling party.

Example: Called Party Presses Divert Softkey

1

Party A calls Manager A.

2

Manager A presses the call divert softkey.

3

The call gets diverted to the voice mailbox of Manager A.

4

Party A receives the voice mailbox greeting of Manager A.

Example: Forwarded call on shared line (manager-assistant scenario) gets diverted to the voice mailbox

2

The assistant attends the call through a shared line and presses the Call Divert softkey.

3
