The Global Call Forwarding Services object is a child of the Call Services object.
The Global Call Forwarding Services object contains global configuration parameters and statistics for all types of Call Forwarding and Basic Line Hunting. There is a single Global Call Forwarding Services object; it is created before delivery of the MetaSwitch NE and you cannot delete it.
To configure the switch to support a particular Call Forwarding service, you need to do the following:
Parameter |
Access |
Description |
Allow restriction for used number | Change Inactive | Specifies the procedure when a request is received to set a number as restricted when that number is already used by a subscriber for call forwarding. (A restricted number is a number to which calls cannot be forwarded.) Values:
|
Default maximum simultaneous forwardings per subscriber | Change Inactive | The default maximum number of forwardings that may be in progress for each subscriber. You can override this value to specify a different maximum for a particular subscriber. The default is 1. Setting a value of zero will prevent all call forwarding by default. For an Individual Line with Teen Service enabled, this limit applies to each of the directory numbers associated with the line, not to the line as a whole. |
Unconditional Call Forwarding support | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the switch is currently configured to support Unconditional Call Forwarding. Values:
|
Unconditional Call Forwarding - enable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to enable Unconditional Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Unconditional Call Forwarding - disable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to disable Unconditional Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Unconditional Call Forwarding - check code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to check the status of their Unconditional Call Forwarding. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Unconditional Call Forwarding - max number | Change Inactive | Maximum number of times a single call may be forwarded with Unconditional Call Forwarding. This parameter is used to prevent looping if subscribers set up a circular forwarding path (for example if A forwards to B, B forwards to C, and C forwards to A). If Unconditional Call Forwarding is applied to a call that has previously been forwarded this number of times (by whichever type of call forwarding), the call is released and the caller receives an announcement to this effect. The default is 5. |
Unconditional Call Forwarding - default single ring setting | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the subscriber's phone should give a single ring as a call is forwarded during Unconditional Call Forwarding. (The single ring is not supported for MADNs, MLHG Pilot DNs or PBXs, or for SIP subscribers.)
This is the default setting for all subscribers who use Unconditional Call Forwarding; you can override this setting to enable or disable the distinctive ring for a particular subscriber. Values:
|
Busy Call Forwarding support | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the switch is currently configured to support Busy Call Forwarding. Values:
|
Busy Call Forwarding - enable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to enable Busy Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Busy Call Forwarding - disable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to disable Busy Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Busy Call Forwarding - check code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to check the status of their Busy Call Forwarding. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Busy Call Forwarding - max number | Change Inactive | Maximum number of times a single call may be forwarded with Busy Call Forwarding. The default is 5. If Busy Call Forwarding is applied to a call that has previously been forwarded this number of times (by whichever type of call forwarding), the call is released and the caller receives an announcement to this effect. |
Delayed Call Forwarding support | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the switch is currently configured to support Delayed Call Forwarding. Values:
|
Delayed Call Forwarding - enable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to enable Delayed Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Delayed Call Forwarding - disable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to disable Delayed Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Delayed Call Forwarding - check code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to check the status of their Delayed Call Forwarding. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Delayed Call Forwarding - max number | Change Inactive | Maximum number of times a single call may be forwarded with Delayed Call Forwarding. The default is 5. If Delayed Call Forwarding is applied to a call that has previously been forwarded this number of times (by whichever type of call forwarding), the call is released and the caller receives an announcement to this effect. |
Delayed Call Forwarding - continue ringing | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the subscriber's phone continues to ring from the time at which the delayed call forwarding is invoked to the time at which alerting begins at the phone that the call is forwarded to. Values:
|
Delayed Call Forwarding - continue ringing after failure | Change Inactive | This field is visible only if Delayed Call Forwarding - continue ringing is set to True. Specifies whether the subscriber's phone continues to ring after failure to set up a call using delayed call forwarding. Values:
|
Busy and Delayed Call Forwarding - enable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to enable both Busy Call Forwarding and Delayed Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. This parameter is used only if both Busy Call Forwarding support and Delayed Call Forwarding support are Configured or Disabled. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. (In the UK, access codes are typically 2 - 4 digits.) |
Busy and Delayed Call Forwarding - disable code | Change Inactive | Access code the subscriber dials to disable both Busy Call Forwarding and Delayed Call Forwarding for all subsequent calls to the subscriber. This parameter is used only if both Busy Call Forwarding support and Delayed Call Forwarding support are Configured or Disabled. Specify a number of maximum 32 digits. |
Unconditional, Busy or Delayed Call Forwarding usage sensitive billing | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the switch supports usage sensitive billing for Call Forwarding. This means that subscribers can choose to pay according to their usage of the service, rather than paying a flat rate for having the service enabled. Values:
|
Selective Call Forwarding support | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the switch is currently configured to support Selective Call Forwarding. Values:
|
Selective Call Forwarding - usage sensitive billing | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the switch supports usage sensitive billing for Selective Call Forwarding.

If Selective Call Forwarding is applied to a call that has previously been forwarded this number of times (by whichever type of call forwarding), the call is released and the caller receives an announcement to this effect. |
Selective Call Forwarding - default single ring setting | Change Inactive | Specifies whether the subscriber's phone should give a single ring as a call is forwarded during Selective Call Forwarding. (The single ring is not supported for MADNs, MLHG Pilot DNs or PBXs, or for SIP subscribers.)
