Auto Answer prompts your phone to automatically answer incoming calls after one ring.
Your system administrator sets up Auto Answer to work with your speakerphone.
Auto Answer with Your Speakerphone
Keep the handset in the cradle to auto answer with your speakerphone. Otherwise, calls ring normally
and you must manually answer them.
Auto Barge

Call Forward All
Call Forward All allows you to forward calls on your phone to another number.
You can set up Call Forward All directly on your phone. To access Call Forward All remotely, go to
your User Options web pages.
There are two types of call-forwarding features that your system administrator may set up on
your phone:
• Unconditional call forwarding (Call Forward All)—Applies to all calls that you receive.
• Conditional call forwarding (Call Forward No Answer, Call Forward Busy, Call Forward No
Coverage)—Applies to certain calls that you receive, according to conditions, and is accessible
only from your User Options web pages.
When forwarding calls from your phone, enter the call-forward target phone number exactly as you
would dial it from your phone. For example, enter an access code or the area code, if necessary.
Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911 User Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0 (SCCP) 17
Your system administrator can set up other call forward options that:
• Allow calls placed from the call forward target phone number to your phone to ring through,
rather than be forwarded.
• Prevent you from creating a call forward loop or exceeding the maximum number of links in a call
forwarding chain.

the current user's associated groups.
Your system administrator sets up the call pickup group you are in and the call pickup buttons

–
Your phone rings and the Line button flashes amber.
–
Your coworker’s phone rings and the Line button flashes amber.
• If you answer the call:
–
Your Line button turns green.
–
Your coworker’s Line button turns red.
When button is red, that line cannot be used to barge in on the call or used to make another
call. If barge is enabled, you can auto barge a call by going off hook. If it is disabled, you can
make another call by going off hook.
• If you put the call on hold:
–
Your Line button flashes green
–
Your coworker’s Line button flashes red.
