Timeout

Specify the time (in seconds) to wait until a call is answered. After the timeout, the call is either redirected to the next follow-me number or disconnected.

When a call is forwarded to a hunt group with a Random, Order or Least Used hunt order, every extension rings for the specified timeout. For example, let’s say the hunt group with the Random hunt order contains 3 extensions and the forwarding timeout for this hunt group is set to 10 sec. Thus, a total timeout for a hunt group is about 30 sec. If the extensions have individual forwarding configuration, every number in the forwarding list will ring for 10 sec.

When the specified number of concurrent calls has already been established (calls are in a “connected” state) and the account tries to place another call, that call will be rejected.

Calling party display

Choose how to display the caller’s info during forwarding. These options are available:

  • Caller number and name – the call is forwarded with the phone number and the name of the original caller (e.g., if A calls B, but the call is forwarded to C, C will see that it is A who is calling).

  • Caller number and forwarder name – the phone number of the caller and the forwarder name are put into the CLI of the forwarded call (e.g., if A calls B, but the call is forwarded to C, C will see A’s phone number and B’s name).

  • Forwarder number and name – the call is forwarded with the phone number and the name of the forwarder (e.g., if A calls B, but the call is forwarded to C, C will see that it is B who is calling).
