Call forwarding

[JesperKulusuk]

Dear Friends

I have en old Nortel Meridian system in Greenland.

How do I forward incoming calls to an external number?

I dont have the attendant phone so the system is operating in night mode with all calls forwarded to one extension.

Any help is appreciated.

Brgds

Hello Jesper

The question is if it is all calls or only specific ones?. Assuming that as you have stated that all calls are going to one extension, then it might just be a case of checking the settings for that particular pnone if CLS = CFXA to allow calls to be externally forwarded and that the CFW kwy or feature is set to all all the digits to be entered as the default may be set for e.g. 4 numbers.

You will also need to add in the AC1 code (Usually "9").

It has CFXA and I changed FTR CFW to 12
I tried to do *55 + 0 (trunk) + external number. It doesnt work. Any ideas?

Hello Jesper

How many digits are dialed when you do *55 + 0 (trunk) + external number?. Try changing the number from 12 to 16.

Also what type of trunks are being used?. Check if the incoming route is the same as your outgoing one and if that is the case to make sure that TRMB = YES.

Finally, check your NCOS 4 barring table in LD 49 isn't blocking your outgoing number and also the TGAR 4 isn't the same as the TARG defined in the route.

You can also try changing the NCOS and TARG to a less restrictive setting and usually "0" is left spare, but check it to be sure.

What does *55 do as it sounds like it's a FFC setting?

Also you have CLS = CCSA and this might need to be CCSD as it will have restrictions enabled.

Hi Firebird Scrambler

So far no luck. I changed TRMB to yes, NCOS 4 has no restrictions. Changed TGAR. Changed CLS = CCSD.
*55 is a FFC for CFWA

Is there a way to make a phanton DN that goes to an external and that forward all calls to that DN?

Can you build a phantom 500 port and program a dcfw on that TN that forwards to the number you are trying to reach?

 

[Firebird Scrambler]

Hello Jesper

I don't think the * or # will work when used as a FFC at the start in a call forward string.

All you need to do is to enter in the ACOD or AC1 code (Usually "9
") followed by the number to be dialed.

Hi Firebird Scrambler

When I use the FFC to put in my AC1 + number, and then check it in LD 20 the CLS FTR CFW for that DN is FTR CFW 16 0123456.
Where 0 is AC1 and 123456 the number.

Hello Jesper

Sorry about my last comment as I had forgotten that you were referring to a analogue (500) set.

Can you try the FFC command again and then print off the set's details as you did before as you should see the FTR CFW 12 0 and the rest of the number etc.

Also print off the routes in LD 21 and perhaps in
>LD 21
REQ LTM
CUST 0

etc.

You may have a number of routes on your system. Another way would be to use the conversion utility guide and print of the details and send or post it via a link as it would provide a better picture on how your system is set up.

For analog phones, go off-hook, dial spre code+74+DN, on-hook, to forward and off-hook, dial spre+74, onhook to cancel forwarding.

You'll have to find out what your spre is

The system uses the NCOS Class of Service based upon the LD 15 Option setting of CFO ( Originating Party COs of CFF Forward Party COS) If this is set to CFO the system will use the COS of the incoming trunks. If it is CFF it will use the COS of the telephone set you are trying to Call Forward. I always set the LD 15 Option to CFF and program the set with CLS=CFXA and the NCOS which allows a call to the number I am forwarding to.
