Call Forwarding - Customer Programmable - V12.0
Product Description
Call Forwarding Customer Programmable is a Call Forwarding product that allows the end-user to program the Call Forward Number at any time by dialing an access code.
Incoming calls are automatically forwarded on a busy condition and after a predetermined Ringing Cycle on a don't answer.
Calls can be forwarded to any dialable telephone number (local, long distance, 800, etc.).
There are two different Call Forwarding Customer Programmable products.
- Call Forwarding Busy Line Customer Programmable
- Call Forwarding Don't Answer Customer Programmable
End-users may order both products if they require both types of forwarding.
Call Forwarding Customer Programmable must be programmed at the number where the feature is installed (no remote access to Call Forwarding).
If the end-user is in a 10-digit dialing area, they must dial the correct "forward to" telephone number.
To activate Call Forwarding Busy Line:
- Dial *90 (1190 Rotary), then the Call Forward Number.
In a 5ESS® central office (CO) switch type, when the confirmation tone is heard (after two to three seconds):
- Call Forwarding Busy Line is activated; simply hang up.
In an Ericsson CO switch type, Call Forwarding Busy Line is activated:
- If the call is answered on the first attempt and maintains the connection for at least five seconds.
- If the call reaches a busy or don't answer condition on the first attempt, then repeat the activation process a second time and hang up. Call Forwarding Busy Line is activated.
To deactivate Call Forwarding Busy Line:
- Dial *91 (1191 Rotary), then hang up.

Feature Detail (FID and Data Requirements)
Call Forwarding Don't Answer Customer Programmable USOCs require the FID RCYC (Ring Cycle) followed by numeric 1 to 9.
The central office switch type determines which Ringing Cycle Options are available.
Ericsson central office does not require the FID RCYC in Feature Detail.
The Ringing Cycle Option setting determines how long an unanswered line will ring before the call is forwarded. The Option # is entered following the RCYC code. See the table below for Ring Cycle Option settings:
| Option # | # of Rings | # of Seconds |
| 1 | 1-2 | 6-12 |
| 2 | 2-3 | 12-18 |
| 3 | 3-4 | 18-24 |
| 4 | 4-5 | 24-30 |
| 5 | 5-6 | 30-36 |
| 6 | 6-7 | 36-42 |
| 7 | 7-8 | 42-48 |
| 8 | 8-9 | 48-54 |
| 9 | 9-10 | 54-60 |
If the data following the FID RCYC changes, you must C and T the Call Forwarding Don't Answer Customer Programmable USOC to change the FID data; e.g.,
C ERD /RCYC 3
T ERD /RCYC 4
NOTE: For LSR Change activity (ACT-C) for Resale POTS and UNE-P POTS only, when the USOC does not change, but the Feature Detail is changing, the Feature Activity C = Change (old values) is not required. You may opt to only provide Feature Activity T = Change (new values).
