Introduction

Find Me/Follow Me allows simultaneous ringing of up to five different external destinations.

Users and administrators can configure these destination numbers. You can configure Find

Me/Follow Me based on the time and day by configuring schedules. Using Find Me/Follow

Me, you can pick up a call either at your primary extension (your desk phone for example) or at one of the five external destinations, such as a cell phone, your home phone, or another phone. When you answer the call at one destination the other alerting calls are disconnected.

By doing this, the Find Me/Follow Me feature reduces the chance of missed calls. You can your list of Find Me/Follow Me external destinations.

Find Me/Follow Me Fundamentals

Find Me/Follow Me allows simultaneous ringing on up to five different external destination numbers when a call is offered to your desk phone. This feature also allows you to transfer answered calls between your desk phone and the FindMe/FollowMe destination device you selected to transfer the call. Users and administrators can configure these destination numbers.

You can configure Find Me/Follow Me to always ring the specified destination numbers, or to schedule them to ring based on the time and day. This allows you to answer an incoming call from any of the specified external destination numbers, and reduces the chance of missing a call. When you answer the call at one destination the other ringing calls are disconnected. You can transfer the answered call back and forth between your desk phone and other devices in your list of Find Me/Follow Me external destination numbers.

Find Me/Follow Me calls contain the prefix “>” on the Calling Line ID (CLID) information

(for example, >John Smith). If no CLID information is available, Find Me/Follow Me calls appear as “FindMe FollowMe”. The following table illustrates the possible CLID displays when a Find Me/Follow Me call is offered to an external destination number (for example, the

CLID display on a cell phone configured as an external destination):

Note: For calls coming from Analog trunks, the CLID information passed to external destinations will always be "FindMe FollowMe" even if the CLID Name or Number is available.

You can continue a Find Me/Follow Me call on any of the configured Find Me/Follow Me external destination numbers by pressing the Find Me/Follow Me feature code (F960 by default) on the desk set (primary or alternate extensions based on where you answer the call). Pressing F960 again returns the call to the extension where it was originally answered. At this point, pressing F960 again will hand the call off to the external destination you previously selected.

There are two tables on the Find Me/Follow Me page: Schedule List and External Destination List.

The Schedule List table shows all currently defined schedules and allows you to add, edit, or delete a schedule. You can configure a maximum of five schedules. The External Destination List shows all currently defined external destination numbers and allows you to add, change, or delete an external destination number. You can configure a maximum of five numbers. Configured external destination numbers are automatically enabled.

Find Me/Follow Me recognizes your set restrictions. If you attempt to enter an external destination number that you do not have permission to dial, the error message, “You are not allowed to dial the number you specified” appears.

Find Me/Follow Me Configuration

You can configure up to five external destination numbers, and five schedules from Mailbox

Manager. Perform the following procedures to configure Find Me/Follow Me external destinations and schedules.

Note: Users can only modify Find Me/Follow Me settings if the system administrator has granted permission for users to configure their own settings.
