Queues
In this section, you can configure and manage queues.
Call queueing allows calls to be placed on hold without handling the actual enquiries or transferring callers to the desired party. While in a call queue, the caller is played pre-recorded music or messages. Call queues are often used in call centres when there are not enough employees to handle a large number of calls. Call centre operators generally receive information about the number of callers in the call queue and the duration of the waiting time. This allows them to respond flexibly to peak demand by deploying extra call centre staff.

With call forwarding, you can forward your calls to a specific destination depending on a chosen scenario. You can create your personalised profiles for certain scenarios, e.g. "Vacation", and set a target phone number to which calls can be forwarded to.
Each user has an automatically set call forwarding profile – the default profile – with the following properties:
It is active per default
It cannot be deleted
Call forwarding destination can be edited
It does not have source-based call forwarding
)
Up to 10 call forwarding profiles are available per extension.
The user can create up to 9 additional call forwarding profiles.

)
To use a call forwarding profile, you need to select it. Otherwise, the default profile or another profile you have previously selected will be active.
Editing a profile
You have created a profile "Vacation". To define exactly what this profile should do, you can either activate one of the call forwarding conditions
Always
Busy
No answer
Not registered
or you can set a rule and use source-based call forwarding (for more information, see Source-based call forwarding).

Call forwarding conditions
There are four call forwarding conditions, Always, Busy, No answer and Not registered.
Select a call forwarding condition.
Select a call forwarding destination via the Destination dropdown below the call forwarding condition. You can select between three options, Voicemail, Busy and Phone number.
What do the call forwarding conditions mean:
Always
The call will always be forwarded. The caller will be forwarded directly to the defined destination.
Please note that if this forwarding condition is active, it will influence the call destination on Global DND. That means that Global DND will have the same call forwarding destination as defined here.
Busy
The call will be forwarded if your extension is busy. The caller receives a busy signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.
Please note that if this forwarding condition is active, it will influence the call destination on Global DND. That means that Global DND will have the same call forwarding destination as defined here.
No answer
The call will be forwarded if you do not answer within a defined time limit. The caller receives a waiting signal and will then be forwarded to the defined destination.
The time limit can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds by clicking on the number dropdown.
Not registered
The call wil be forwarded if your device is not registered on PBX (e.g. broken cable etc.). All incoming calls will be forwarded to a defined destination.

What is it?
With source-based call forwarding, you forward your calls to your desirable destination based on who is calling. This can be done for internal calls, specific extensions or phone book entries. In addition, you can have a personal block or allow list to decide who can reach you and who cannot.
Please note that source-based call forwarding is not available for the default profile.
Make sure to activate the call forwarding profile for the source-based call forwarding rule to work.
Creating source-based call forwarding for anonymous calls
For example, you do not want to receive any calls from anonymous callers, so you want to forward these calls to your voicemail.
To enable it:
1. Create a new call forwarding profile (1) or select an already existing customised call forwarding profile (2) and add a new source-based call forwarding rule (3).
)
2. Click on the Type name or phone number search field. A list for selecting a number appears.
3. Select Anonymous.
4. Click on Select.
)
The new source-based call forwarding rule has been created.
5. Activate Always.
6. Select Voicemail.
All anonymous calls will be forwarded to your voicemail from now on.
)
Creating source-based call forwarding for internal calls
For example, you are a director of a company and you do not want to constantly receive the internal calls. You would like all the internal calls to be forwarded to your PA, however, you would like your PA to be able to reach you.
To enable it:
1. Create a new call forwarding profile (1) or select an already existing customised call forwarding profile (2) and add a new source-based call forwarding rule (3).
2. Click on the Type name or phone number search field. A list for selecting a number appears.
3. Select All internal calls.
4. Click on Select.
The new source-based call forwarding rule has been created.
5. Activate Always.
6. Select Phone number.
7. Type in the extension number/name.
8. Select the extension.
9. Click on Select.
All internal calls will be forwarded to your PA from now on.
For the PA to be able to reach you:
1. Add a new source-based call forwarding rule.
2. Click on the Type name or phone number search field. A list for selecting a number appears.
3. Type in the extension number/name of your PA.
4. Select the extension.
5. Click on Select.
The new source-based call forwarding rule has been created. Your PA will be able to always reach you.
Star codes are a convenient means for activating call forwarding profiles or aplying rules and forwarding destinations to the default profile.
Activating a call forwarding profile
The star code for activating a call forwarding profile is *10, followed by the profile number of the required call forwarding profile.
For example, to activate profile number #3, dial *103.
Applying a call forwarding rule and destination
By using star codes, you can also activate dedicated call forwarding rules, such as "call forward always" and apply a destination for this rule. However, a rule applied via star codes will only affect the default profile, and by applying the rule, you will automatically activate the default profile. To change the rules of a call forwarding profile other than the default profile, you have to use the Web app / Desktop app.
The code for activating the rule "call foward always" is *11+destination. The destination can either be a telephone number (TN) or an extension number (EN). A telephone number is added in the international format, e.g. *110049892343123. An extension number is simply added as such. For example, *1133 would activate "call forward always" to extension 33.
By using the *11 star code + phone number, you can add a phone number as a destination to the default call forwarding profile. By using the *11 + phone number, you will activate the default profile.
For example, you have 3 call forwarding profiles and currently, the active profile is profile #2.
Dial *110049892343123.
⇒ The default profile has been activated, and the calls are forwarded to the phone number "0049892343123".
Setting your voicemail as a destination
When you apply a call forwarding rule, instead of adding an extension or telephone number as a destination, you can add your voicemail. Therefore, add another * and number 791.
For example, if you want to forward all incoming calls to your voicemail, use the star code *11*791. *11 for the rule "call forward always" and *791 for applying your voicemail as the destination for this rule.
Star codes overview
The following overview lists all available star codes for call forwarding:
| *10+n | Activate call forwarding profile n. n = number of the profile (0 to 9) |

Presence information
Presence information is currently reflecting the line state.
Line state is the telephony state of your phone and shows whether the phone is
offline (telephony line is not connected),
idle (phone is online but you are not in a call),
ringing,
in use (you are in a call).
The 4 states are telephony states.
Here are the Presence icons visible in the apps that reflect the line state and your availability:
 | Available: The user is logged and is idle |
 | Line in use: The user is currently in a call |
 | Idle line state: The user is currently not logged into an application, however the line is idle since e.g. a user has a deskphone or a mobile app installed |
 | Do not disturb: The user does not want to be disturbed. No notifications will be displayed and all incoming calls' destination will depend on the settings in the call forwarding profile. This icon appears when Global DND is activated - see below |
 | Offline: The user is currently offline and not reachable |
Do Not Disturb
There are two Do Not Disturb options available:
Device DND: The user does not want to receive calls on the device currently being used. The calls will be automatically rejected on the device where device DND is activated.
Please note that this is only applicable for users with the mobility option.Global DND: The user does not want to be disturbed. No notifications will be displayed and all incoming calls will be automatically rejected on all devices. Global DND will be visible to all users within the organisation.
Note
When activating Global DND, the call's destination will depend on the settings in the call forwarding profile.
Presence sync makes it possible to synchronise the presence status between MS Teams and NFON X powered by Telekom bidirectionally.
NFON X powered by Telekom > MS Teams
The following shows you how NFON X powered by Telekom states are displayed with MS Teams states:
| In use |  | In a call |
MS Teams > NFON X powered by Telekom
The following will show you how MS Teams states are displayed with NFON X powered by Telekom states:
|
|
In a call
In a call, out of office
| | In use |
As these are two separate applications, the presence information must be exchanged between them when changes are made on either side, which may result in a short delay.
This means that the correct information about the user's status may differ from the corresponding display in the applications for up to 60 seconds.
For example, a call in NFON X powered by Telekom may have ended, however, the user may still be shown as being on a call in MS Teams.
In addition, presence synchronisation may cause the in use status in NFON X powered by Telekom to persist longer than the call lasts.
However, this is only visual information; the user is still available for calls.
In cases where the incorrect presence status persists for a longer period of time (for example, after a NFON X powered by Telekom application crash), it will be displayed correctly after the next call.
Presence sync is limited to a maximum number of 650 extensions.
Note
For more information on how to activate MS Teams Presence Synchronisation, go to Presence Synchronisation.
