Function Key for Call Forwarding for External Numbers
Important: Only available for operation on the PBXs COMpact 3000 analogue/ISDN/VoIP, COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMpact 4000, COMpact 5000/R, COMpact 5200/R, COMpact 5500R and COMmander 6000/R/RX. On the other PBXs this function can be set via programming sequence (see Advanced Information of the PBX).
Pressing the key enables, disables and switches call forwarding for external numbers over.
Exception: A key defined to disable all instances of call forwarding for external numbers disables all enabled call forwarding for external numbers. The prerequisite is that function keys have been configured for these instances of call forwarding.
In addition the status of the function is indicated by the corresponding LED.
 
Note: When functions are defined on the second key level (optional, see Technical Data in the Instructions), LED signalling is not available.
Important: When operating the function via the key, the success/failure of the operation is indicated by a change in colour on the LED. During the configuration in the public exchange (this takes perhaps from a few seconds up to a minute), the LED blinks yellow.
