There are two methods of forwarding calls from one extension to another on the Avaya phone system. Pick up the receiver, press the "call-fwd" button or enter the call forward feature code, and then enter the destination extension to forward calls from one extension to another. An audible burst of three tones will indicate the call forwarding has been activated. The other method is station-enhanced call forwarding and will forward on several different parameters.
