Browse to the IP address, login and click on settings". Go to the
"telephony" section and click "advanced settings". Look for a setting
called "transfer call by on-hook" and set to "yes", then click
"set". You can close the web browser now.
Now to transfer a call, there are two types of transfer:
blind transfer:
- with a call in progress, press the "ext call" button, dial a number and press send.
- when you hear the ringing tone, hang up.
- The original call will have been transferred to the number dialled.
attended transfer:
- do the same as above but when you hear the ringing tone, wait for the other person to answer.
- announce the call and then when ready, hang up.
- the first call will now be transferred to the second call.
Note: for any transfer to work the service provider you are using needs to support SIP transfers.
