External Extension
Description
An extension can have Screened Transfer (TRF) calls from the Automated Attendant automatically route on
another trunk to an outside number. To set this up, enable External Extension for the extension’s Subscriber
Mailbox and enter an External Extension callout number. When the Automated Attendant answers and the
outside caller dials the extension, voice mail automatically routes the incoming call to the programmed
External Extension callout number. External Extension allows Automated Attendant callers to easily reach
branch offices and important off-site locations, as well as an employee’s cell phone or home office.
