3.3.10 Activating/Deactivating the Substitute Function

This function is available for mailbox classes 4 through 6. 

Class 4 through 6 mailbox owners can have calls forwarded to a substitute. The substitute's telephone number must be entered, and call forwarding must be activated. 

How the mailbox responds to calls depends upon whether or not the message recording function is activated or deactivated (see Section 3.3.5, "Activating and Deactivating Message Recording", on page 3-10): 

If message recording is activated, the system begins with the message recording function. If silence persists for the first 5 seconds of recording, recording is stopped, and the system forwards the call to the substitute.  

If message recording is deactivated, the call is switched to the substitute immediately after the greeting. Message recording is not possible in this case. 

Note    The substitute's telephone number must be entered and possibly selected before call forwarding can be activated.
