5.22.5. Input Procedure for Network-Wide Follow-Me Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

The "Follow-Me" feature allows variable call forwarding of calls to the user's home station to the foreign station currently in use (i.e. programming and activation). The network-wide follow-me feature is a subset of the feature "Remote CF by Station". The activation and deactivation of the follow-me feature via the FWD key, for the voice service, can only be carried out at foreign stations in idle state. If the foreign station is in any state not equal to "idle", the display will show "NICHT MOEGLICH" ("NOT POSSIBLE") as a negative acknowledgement. The activation or deactivation of the follow-me feature via the CHECK function is also possible during an ongoing call. The following options are available for activating/deactivating the follow-me feature:
  • if PIN active or chip-card inserted: by pressing the FWD (call forwarding) key.
  • if PIN active or chip-card inserted: by dialling the appropriate code for "Variable FWD on/off"
  • if PIN active or chip-card inserted: via the idle telephone menu
  • with or without active PIN: via Service Menu
The follow-me option is displayed on the foreign terminal if the home station user's PIN is active. If the user's PIN is not active, the display shows "Umleitung eingeschaltet" ("Call forwarding activated"). For wrong entries, "nicht moeglich" ("not possible") will be displayed as a negative acknowledgement. For Digites without display units, the appropriate positive or negative acknowledgement tone or announcement will be heard instead.
The call forwarding option is shown on the telephone displays of the home station and foreign station concerned, and indicated with the FWD LED, in the same way as for the "internal" follow-me feature. The active call forward status at the user's home station is additionally indicated at the foreign station with a special dial tone.
