Common Area Phone and Call Forwarding

Hi,
Is it basicly possible to use Call Forwarding on Common Area Phones without Hot Desking?
According toTechnet yes.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412807.aspx
We have a problem with the setup of Common Area Phones.
All CAP phones have a Voice Policy with Call Forwarding enabled and Firmware 4.0.7577.250. (Hard Reset done)
But the phone menu does not show the Call Forwarding entry.
When we log in as a user (Hot Desking) with the same Voice Policy, Call Forwarding is shown and functional.   
Any ideas?
Thank you in advanced for any input.
Cheers.

Try these (on Lync 2013 SEFAUtil):
Forward calls to outbound:
C:\>SEFAUtil.exe /server:theGreatPool.internal.net sip:[email protected] /Verbose /callanswerwaittime:10 /setfwddestination:+3580123456789  /enablefwdnoanswer
Forward calls to internal user:
C:\>SEFAUtil.exe /server:theGreatPool.internal.net sip:[email protected] /Verbose /callanswerwaittime:10 /setfwddestination:sip:[email protected]  /enablefwdnoanswer

  • Outbound call not working for Common Area Phone

    Hi,
    I have configured Common area phone and i am not able to make the outbound call. I have grant the conference policy. I have grant the voice policy.
    client policy is default
    How to troubleshoot the issue with outbound calls?

    You can change the dial plan with my tool :)

    But good call, normalization rules may be off due to default global dial plan.

  • How to disable addressbook access for common area phones

    I'm searching for a way to prevent access to the company addressbook for our common area phones. One of these phones is used as a door phone in public area and should not display the contact cards of our employees.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Please try to add the msRTCSIP-GroupingID attribute on the Contact for Lync users, then test the issue again.
    The basic premise is you can define groups of users in your organizations and assign them different groupingIds. 
    A groupingId is simply a guid and only users who have the same groupingId may search for each other. 
    To set the groupingId for a user, you must set the value of msRTCSIP-GroupingId in Active Directory.
    More details:

  • Can Lync common area phone request device updates?

    Hi,
    simple question: can a Lync Phone Edition device (LPE, Aries class, Polycom CX500 / CX600 etc.) request device updates, when the phone is hosting a common area phone contact object?
    Fortunately I know the answer: it seems NOT, I see in the system settings that there is an error for the last device update request. However as soon as I login with a normal user account, the device update request status is 200, and the phone gets updated
    under 5 minutes and reboots properly.
    While I know the answer, I would like to get feedback from MS: is this a design defect of the product, a bug in the way common area phone contact object authenticates on the Lync webservices or something else? Other peoples experience is more than welcome!

    Hi,

  • No long distance dialing for common area phones

    What's the best method step by step of limiting common area phones to local dialing only and blocking long distance?

    The step by step would be to create a voice policy, pstn usage, and route with those restrictions, then assign it to the common area phones.  Then, assign the voice policy to the phones and test.  What you're attempting to do is actually quite
    common.
    I made a handy tool to assign policies to common area phones if it helps:

  • Common area phone gets "Unable to access server. Please search later"

    I installed two common area phones, a Polycom CX3000 speaker phone and a Polycom CX500.  When starting to type a phone number the following message appears on the screen of the phone: "Unable to access server.  Please search later". 
    Is there any way to enable the search capability for these phones without connecting the USB cable on the CX3000?  Note that the CX500 doesn't have a USB cable at all.

    Hi,
    Please use the Test-CsPhoneBootstrap commandlet to troubleshoot the issue.
    Please check SRV records as Lync phone cannot utilize manual configuration.
    Please make sure the sign in user has been Enterprise Voice enabled.
    Please double check the steps configuring common area phone:

    Hi,
    1.  Please disable Hotdesking in Lync Client Policy then test again.

  • After installing 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 I no longer get notification when another call comes in when I'm on another call. In phone settings I no longer have the icons for call waiting and call forwarding. My carrier is sprint

    I no longer get notifications that another call is coming in when I'm on the phone. In the settings under phone I do not see any availabilty for call waiting or call forwarding. I had this feature before installing the new update 6.0.1.

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • Iphone 5 and 5s visual voicemail and call forwarding problems in UK

    Hi
    I am in the UK on a monthly pay 4G package with O2 with my iphone 5S.
    Every two or three days, visual voicemail switches off saying there is an error with visual voicemail. When this happens, voicemails are left for me, but the caller does not hear my personalised OGM and I have to call in to listen to voicemails - and I get no notification of new voicemails. If I power down my iphone and switch it back on, visual voicemail is restored. But then a day or two later, it all happens again
    Another thing I have noticed, is that when I switch my iphone back on after having powered it down, the call forward icon appears on the phone, even though I have not set call forwarding. To celar this I go into settings - phone - call forwarding. this shows that call forwardins is indeed off, and as soon as i reach that screen in settings, the call forwarding icon goes away - and so does my 4G connection. I then have 3G connection for a while and then magically 4G returns after several minutes.
    Thsi is all comepletely repeatable - happens every time
    Yesterday I noticed that exactly the same things are happening on my wife's iphone 5 - and she is on an EE package
    We are both on IOS 7.1
    What is going on?

    Immediately after going through the carry-on x-ray scanner at Newark airport, my 5S touch screen screen became unresponsive. I could not tap icons. I could not swipe pages. I could not turn off the phone because I could not swipe the confirmation message. I could use the fingerprint sensor to ask Siri to Google for help, and Safari did open with a list of Google search results. Surprisingly, I could use the touchscreen to scroll up and down the list of search results, but it would not respond to any taps, so I could not open any of the links. I finally did a hard reset and when the phone did come back on, all was well. This is the second time that this has happened immediately after x-ray, and these two times were the only times that this has happened, despite many trips.
    Then there was something else unique about those two times that affected the device, either environmental or circumstantial.

  • Exchange UM call transfer and call forward.

    Hello all,
    Looking for some ideas with an issue with Exchange UM call transfer and Lync call forward. 
    Environment details:
    Lync Server 2013 Enterprise Edition
    Exchange 2010 UM
    AudioCodes M3K with PRI connectivity.
    Here are the scenarios:
    Scenario 1:
    Call comes in via PSTN to Exchange Auto Attendant.
    Caller enters user extension
    Exchange Calls User
    User has Lync Client forwarded to mobile cell phone.
    User's Mobile cell phone will ring but user does not answer.
    After about 3 rings, Exchange will interrupt the transfer and say "Sorry, I cannot transfer you to that extension"
    On the Exchange UM server event log, we see the following event: "
    An error occurred while transferring a call to
    [email protected]. Additional information: The call transfer type is "Blind.", the transfer target is "phone number", and the caller ID is: "a12b63b6-0da0-424d-87b1-b11bde4685ca".

    The Unified Messaging server will attempt to recover from this exception. If this warning occurs frequently, contact Microsoft Product Support.
    Scenario 2:
    Call comes in via PSTN to Exchange Auto Attendant.
    Caller enters user extension
    Exchange Calls User
    User has Lync Client forwarded to mobile cell phone.
    User's Mobile cell phone will ring but user presses ignore on cell phone
    Once ignore is pressed, cell phone voicemail will pickup so Exchange will complete the transfer.
    I'm don't believe Exchange UM has a no-answer timeout setting for call transfer and i'm not sure if a setting on the gateway can resolve the issue. Any ideas on how to resolve scenario 1?
    Thanks,
    Prashanth

    Can you confirm that you haven't enabled voicemail escape?
    Voicemail escape is set to 15 seconds by default if enabled and not specified.

  • Area codes and calling plans

    Is it possible to get a phone on a calling plan that has a different area code than the "home" area?  I have 3 phones that are all 970 area codes (Colorado), but I need to get another phone for WV (304).  Can I do that on the same plan, or does it have to be on its own?

    You can have different area codes and "home" areas on the same plan. When we added a line for my Mom (she's in NY, we are in CA) we had to initially set it up with a local number, then change the number to her area code to get a number that would be "local" for her.
    You do not need a separate plan, a long as there are 5 or less phones on your plan. You said this would be the 4th one, so there should be no problems with adding a the line and getting a 304 area code.

  • Differences between Online Number and Call Forward...

    I have an unlimited subscription for the United States. For others to call me though I am not sure what the best option is. Could someone please clarify the differeces between having an Online number and having calls forwarded?

    Hello,
    An Online # is for your contacts to call you. (You can't make calls from it).
    Call forwarding is simply forwarding a received call to another phone of your choice.
    To receive calls from your contacts you will need an Online #.

  • 3 year old iPhone 4 has a crackling sound when calls are made and caller can't be heard

    My iPhone 4 has been giving me problems via the earpiece it seems. When I make calls, it starts crackling until I hit the earpiece area till the sound is gone. But when its clear, I can hear the person over the phone but the person can't hear me. I have to hit it a few more times on the earpiece to actually get them to hear me. My mic works fine as sending voice messages are no problems. Anyone else going through this problem and had a solution to this (besides buying a new iPhone - Still waiting for iPhone 5s to be in stock) Hoping for some help on this. Thank you.

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Common Area Phone with strict DNS rules in multi pool env.

    Hi There,
    As you know, CommonAreaPhones have the strict DNS rules: pool's FQDN's domain must be the same than phone's SIP address domain is.
    In the DHCP we can set only one pool's FQDN, so does anybody have an idea how to get phones spread between two pools? I do not mean that each subnet have own dedicated configuration.
    Pool's are of course internal, so they are having internal FQDNes. Currently the L2010 is faked on the DHCP as pool.company.com (as the SIP domain is company.com). But now on L2013 we have two pools waiting for the phones.
    Petri

    I don't think you'll have a problem.  The strict DNS naming is more of a SRV/A record issue, which shouldn't pose a problem.
