We have a Difinity G3 system I have a user that works from home 3 days a week we need to forward her calls from her extension to her home phone. What has to be done on the system as well as her 8410D phone?
A coverage path with remote a remote coverage destination would be easiest. Adding a coverage time of day schedule would automate the process of switching between home and office, but I would only do that if the user spent the same days of the week at home.
Other than that, a class of service that included call forwarding would have to be assigned to her phone, and someone would have to go to the phone, dial the CF access code, and then a destination number.
Change the extension in question to a COS that has Restrict Call Fwd-Off Net set to n, then dial the FAC to forward from the extension + the number to forward to. The only issue here is that it needs to be dialed from the phone or from an extension who has console permissions. You could use the telecommuting function to forward remotely (ch tele from the command line to set it up).
Other options, EC500 (xmobil)bridge call from extension to the remote phone, and as mentioned above remote coverage path and MCK call extender ($2500 or so).
I have also successfully IP enabled my extension and used the Avaya IP phone to "remote control" my extension via a VPN connection. My extension then rings at my PC at home. Though this is subject to other issues...basically how good your connection is and everything in-between.
