Setting up call forwarding

This user guide helps you to set up call forwarding via the OpenSpace Web Client.

To set up call forwarding to a device, you have to select it as the preferred device in the web client. If you make a call via the web client, it is also processed via your preferred device.

 Hinweise

  • The persons calling who try to reach your extension will still only see your 5-digit extension and not the number of the device to which your call is forwarded.
  • Only call back via the web client (see user guide Making a call). Otherwise, the call recipient will see the actual number of your device.
  • If the preferred device is abroad, costs may incur (such as roaming costs). This does not apply when you make calls using the OpenScape Web Client.
  • When you log out from the web client, your preferred device remains active.
