    When a line is assigned this feature and it is in a busy state, all calls directed to that line will be forwarded automatically to a predetermined number.

    Extension allows you to dial only five (5) digits rather than seven to reach other stations within the UF Administrative Telephone system.

    Hunting is used to reduce or eliminate customers receiving a busy signal when they call your department.  Calls are routed from busy to idle lines in a straight or circular pattern. Call Forward Busy (CFB) cannot be assigned to hunt groups. Call Forwarding Universal (CFU) takes precedence over hunting.

    To activate Ring Again:
    * Receive BUSY TONE from called station.
    * Depress the SWITCHHOOK and listen for SPECIAL DIAL TONE.

    Speed Calling

    Speed Calling allows you to call numbers you use frequently without having to dial the complete number.  You can program speed dial numbers at your telephone for directory numbers or special application codes.

    Speed dial numbers are validated when they are used, not when they are programmed.  So, if a speed dial number does not work, the programming stage should be repeated to confirm that the number was entered correctly.  In addition, the dialing scope of the station applies to the dialing scope allowed in speed calling.

    NOTE:  All speed dial programming has a "timeout" factor.  When programming, if the numbers are not dialed within a set time period (about 15 seconds), they will not program.

    Back
