2.3.1.5 Remote Extensions
With TalkSwitch's Remote Extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly from
your home/office to any phone number you choose. Your cell phone, pager or any
out-of-office number becomes a 'Remote Extension' of your office system. You can
have calls forwarded directly or screen callers. If you are unavailable or choose not
to accept calls, they can be transferred back to your office (e.g. to voicemail or
another extension) or forwarded to another out-of-office telephone number (e.g. to
a business partner's cell phone) depending upon the Cascade configuration.
TalkSwitch assigns a Remote Extension number to each call forwarding telephone
number. Calls can then be forwarded by the Auto Attendant or transferred by someone
in your office simply by dialing the Remote Extension number. There are 8 Remote
Extensions available per TalkSwitch unit.
If a TalkSwitch has Unit ID 2, then the Remote Extension numbers are 221 -
228.
Choose a Remote Extension to configure. After you have activated a Remote
Extension, you must enter a phone number in order for the extension to be
considered active and usable by the system.
