Forwarding calls when not at your phone
If you are not at the location of your phone, you can use a computer to configure your phone to forward calls. Use this procedure to forward incoming calls to another number from a remote computer. You must be logged in to the college network either via VPN Dailup or your Algonquin HighSpeed (Bell) Service. You can forward all calls to an IP phone or non-IP phone. To request this service call the Service Desk.
  • NB
    • Log in to the Cisco CallManager IP Phone Configuration utility. http://speeddial.algonquincollege.com/ccmuser
    • Choose Cisco 7960 from the Select a Device to Configure drop-down list box.
    • Click "Forward all calls to a different number" from the list of available configuration options.
    • Enable the check box next to the line you want to forward.
    • Type the number to which you want to forward all incoming calls.
  • Note Be sure to enter the number exactly as you would if you were to call that number. For an external number enter 9 first.
    • Click Update.
    • Click Log off to exit the configuration utility.

To cancel forwarding of all calls, follow the same procedure, however clear the check box next to the line being forwarded.

Parking a call

The Cisco IP Phone 7960 allows you to store or "park" a call at a specified number and then use any other phone in the Cisco CallManager system (for example, a phone in someone else's office or in a conference room) to retrieve the call. Call Park numbers are configured by your system administrator. This capability is only available on the Cisco CallManager version of the phone.

  • To request this service contact the Service Desk.
    • During an active call, press the more soft key until you see the Park tab.
    • Press Park. The display shows the number to which the call is parked.
    • Make a note of the Call Park number and then hang up. The call is now parked at that number, allowing you to retrieve it from another phone.

    Note You have a limited amount of time to retrieve the parked call before it disconnects. See your system administrator for more information.

    • To retrieve the parked call, from any phone in the Cisco CallManager system, dial the Call Park number at which the call was parked.
