Types of Call Transfer

On the Poly VVX 401/411 you can transfer an active or a held call in two ways:

• Blind Transfer: Transfers the call directly to another line without first speaking with the intended recipient of the transfer.
  
  
• Consultative Transfer: Enables you to speak with the intended recipient of the transfer before completing the transfer.
  
  A semi-consultative transfer is when you transfer a call when you hear a ringback from the recipient without actually talking with him.

Another transfer method, using Telebroad's system features, allows you to transfer a call directly to a voicemail of your choice.

Changing the Default Transfer Type

Consultative is the default transfer type but you can change that to Blind transfer and vice versa. 

To change the default transfer type:

• Select Settings from the Home view and navigate to Basic>Preferences.
  
  
• Select the Default Transfer Type option and choose either Consultative or Blind.
