<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A very interesting workaround. Thanks for pointing
that out. We might have to investigate this option.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, with workarounds like this, I find
two things:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>We cannot be guarenteed that hunt groups will
always work this way. What happens when Cisco modifies the behaviour in
v4.1(8) [just making that version up] so that it does follow forwarding
because so many people asked for it and there is no system or phone
configuration option to differentiate behaviour? Using the behaviour of a
feature to deliver a different feature (or unadvertised feature) is risky.
Changes to that behaviour in subsequent versions can cause
problems.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Workarounds that are based on partitions and
calling search spaces are not scalable in my opinion. We have over 300
departments on campus, each had their own 'com' group to bypass forwarding. I
would need to create a similar number of partitions and calling search spaces
to mimic this. And because I have groups on campus with different off-campus
restrictions, the number might increase.</FONT></LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my two cents.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>>> ROLM had this feature. It was called a COM group. Basically, it
<BR>>> was a feature that 'bypassed' forwarding on the phone. Great
<BR>>> feature, one of our biggest complaints.<BR>>> <BR>>>
Nothing like that yet, we had to create seperate DNs for <BR>>> forwarding
calls back like this, a poor man's IPMA so to speak. <BR>>> Works out
well.<BR>>> <BR>>> I believe they have acknowledged that this is a
feature they would <BR>>> like to include in subsequent versions, but no
word as of yet of <BR>>> engineering commit.<BR>>> <BR>>>

Subject: [cisco-voip] Call transfer to a phone with CFA enabled<BR>>>
<BR>>> <BR>>> <BR>>> Hello, <BR>>>
<BR>>> I have a phone (6100) with CFA set to another phone (6125).
<BR>>> If someone calls 6100, the call is forwarded to 6125. Is it
<BR>>> possible to configure 6125 to be able to transfer this call back
<BR>>> to 6100?<BR>>> <BR>>> This feature was supported
in the customer old pbx and is <BR>>> something they use often.
<BR>>> <BR>>> Regards, <BR>>> Evi.<BR>>>
