Personal Speed Dial for Remote Call Forwarding

[cztech]

Hello - Trying to setup Remote Call Forwarding for users via Manager - Basic programming mode for a Partner IPO version. I see the area to tick on RCF for each user. But how do I specify where the extension will forward to? Another thread mentions forwarding the extension to a personal speed dial number (80 in the example). All I can find in programming are the System speed dials - #600 and up. If I try to set the extension to forward to 600, for example, I receive an error message that this is not a valid extension to forward to. Nonetheless, I do not see an area in programming to set personal speed dials. Any ideas?

Thanks Telecomboy, but they are going to be using 18D's off ETR6 boards. Any options there?

Telcom boy, can the 1400 sets be used in the empty port of the extension number we want to forward and then be unplugged? In other words, I need to forward an empty port as an after hours emergency transfer to an answering service. For example, press 9 to transfer to ext. 23 which is RCF'd to an outside number.

It seems to me the only way to bite into F80 is to plug a phone into that port, but will it stay forwarded:

1. with no phone plugged in?

2. After a power failure (this was an issue on the old ACS).

Thanks
