Call Forwarding Usage on the Yealink T58W/VP59
When you are not available to answer calls on your phone, you can forward the calls to another phone.
You can either forward all incoming calls to a contact (static forwarding) or forward an incoming call manually while it rings to a selected or predetermined contact. You can also divert calls from a specific contact to another contact.
If you need to receive calls from specific numbers while forwarding is enabled you have the option of configuring Emergency and Authorized Numbers.
You can also forward calls using a Telebroad system feature code as described here.
Static Forwarding
Static forwarding is an automatic call forwarding feature to forward all incoming calls or certain calls based on your availability.
There are three types (situations) of static forwarding:
- Always Forward – forwards all incoming calls immediately.
- Busy Forward – forwards incoming calls when you are busy with another call.
- No Answer Forward – Forwards incoming calls when no one answers the calls.
Configuring the Forwarding Mode
By default, the static forwarding setting applies to all lines on your phone. This is referred to as Phone mode. You can change this to Custom mode which allows you to apply forwarding just on a specific line.
To configure the forwarding mode:
- Access the web user interface as described here.
- From the Features menu select Forward&DND.
- In the Forward block, select either Phone or Custom from the Mode field.
