Multiple Simultaneous Call Forwarding (MSCF)

1 Denition
The feature Multiple Simultaneous Call Forwarding (MSCF) makes it possible to forward a number of incoming call requests simultaneously to a defined destination (e.g. a voice mailbox). This feature supplements the call forwarding feature (CF). It is of relevance for the following types of call forwarding: Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU) Call Forwarding on Busy (CFB) Call Forwarding on No Reply (CFNR)

Interactions For interaction with other features, see Feature Interactions.

2 Mode of operation
In the standard case, the number of calls that can be forwarded simultaneously is two for an ISDN basic access and just one for an analog individual line. Any additional call attempts to a call-forwarding subscriber are rejected. The feature Multiple Simultaneous Call Forwarding (MSCF) raises the number of calls that can be forwarded simultaneously to: 3 to 10 calls (maximum) in case of an ISDN basic access 2 to 10 calls (maximum) in case of an analog individual line The operator can specify the number of calls that can be forwarded simultaneously on a line-specific basis. The number of successful calls in case of multiple simultaneous call forwarding depends on the number of calls that can be made simultaneously to the call-forwarding destination. More than one successfully forwarded call is possible if the call-forwarding destination: is a mailbox has authorization for the call waiting feature is part of an ISDN basic access leads to a PBX hunting group line (MLHG) or PBX leads to a chargeable recorded announcement If a forwarding subscriber has a multiple subscriber number (MSN), the various directory numbers can be forwarded to different destinations. Capacity The percentages indicate the number of authorized subscribers for the feature within the network node and their simultaneous application. Analog Authorization Subscriber GeoCENTREX subscriber 100% 100% Use 20% 20% ISDN Authorization 100% 100% Use 20% 20%
