Transfer Before Answering 
 

Definition  
Users can transfer an internal or external call to another internal station before the called party answers. The other station can be in the same system or it can be in a networked system.
If the requested station is unavailable, the call will remain in a wait state until the line is free (Call waiting). Only two calls can be transferred to a busy station simultaneously.
The transfer destination display (subscriber C) can display the number of either subscriber A or B. Calls transferred to a station with active call forwarding are forwarded according to the forwarding mode set on the internal destination.
A call transferred to an external destination over an analog loop start trunk does not recall because the HiPath 3000/5000 does not know the state of the final destination. In this case, a pseudo answer is provided.

Dependencies/Restrictions  

 Subject  
 Dependency/Restriction  
External transfer destination  
You cannot place an unscreened transfer to an external destination.  
Recall  
If a transferred call is not answered within a certain period of time, the system initiates a recall.  
The automatic recall timer "Callback for transfer before answering" (default is 45 seconds) is started when the transferring station releases the call. This timer also controls the length of time that a caller is camped on the destination station.  
Call charges  
Toll charges are assigned to the switching station until the call is picked up or released. After the destination station answers, the charges are assigned to it. If the destination is an external destination, the call charges are assigned to the transferring station as long as the destination answers the call.  
DSS  
Pressing a DSS key from a talking state, results in an immediate Consultation call with the party designated by the DSS key. In effect, it replaces the procedure Consult + Destination.  
Do not disturb (DND)  
Transferring a call to a station in Do not Disturb results in an immediate recall to the transferring station.  
If the transferring station is itself in a Do Not Disturb state, a Recalling transferred call overrides the DND function and rings the telephone.  
Music on Hold (MOH)  
The called party hears MOH, if provided.  
External destinations  
An external call can only be transferred to another external destination (in the same system or in another node via CorNet) if one of the trunks can provide release supervision (ground start, PRI, BRI, DID, T1).  
Busy stations  
Only two calls can be transferred to a busy station simultaneously. On a display telephone, the state of the called party (if internal) is displayed-Busy or Do Not Disturb.  
OpenScape Personal Edition  
If OpenScape Personal Edition with video functionality is operated on HiPath 3000, then the button for the "blind transfer" function is deactivated.
