Using Avaya Telephone Features
Call Transfer

This feature allows the person receiving a call to pass the caller to a second telephone.

  1. This feature can save time for all parties involved especially when a call was initially mis-directed or after finishing business with one party and another party is needed to conduct additional business.
  2. There is no limitation as to whom you may transfer where. Examples:
    • Outside calls may be transferred back outside. NOTE: This will tie up at least two of the University's trunk lines/circuits and makes other incoming/outgoing calls more difficult to find an open circuit.
    • Outside call may be transferred to someone else within our system.
    • Someone within our system may be transferred to somewhere outside our system.
    • Someone within our system may be transferred to someone else within our system.
  3. Two types of transfer:
    • Announced transfer -- wait for the transferred-to party to answer, announce the transfer, make sure both parties are connected, then hang up.
    • Blind transfer -- begin the transfer process, make sure you hear ringing, and hang up. (With this type of transfer, you may not know who you will be connecting the party to).

This feature can also be used for a three-way conversation
