What are the call forwarding options?

Choose the forwarding sequence when a call comes in.

• Simultaneously... the call is put through to every colleague at the same time (first-come, first-served)

• One by one... do you work with several colleagues and want colleague 1 to be the first in line? If so, please enable this option and put colleague 1 at the top of the list
