I'd like Employee B's phone ext to ring when a call is made to Employee B who is away. I punch in feature+4+ "2 digit" ext., then sits there. What's the next move? Only option on display is "cancel". Help please? I believe this is call forwarding. I'm just stumped at the next step after keying destination ext.

There are 3 Flexible Feature buttons under the horizontal display. When you are on a call, the display will show "Transfer" over the last button. Press that button, which will automatically put the caller on hold, pick up an intercom and prompt you to enter the extension to transfer the caller to. Enter the ext. number and tell your employee who is on the call, and heng up - the caller will be connected automatically. Or, after dialing the ext. to transfer the caller to, just hang up and the call will ring through. Good Luck!

Ok, assuming that person A's extension is 25 and person B's extensions extension is 26, then at extension 25 and enter feature 4 then 26. You might want to verify what person A's extension is. It almost sounds like its looking for a 3 didit extension.

repeat the steps from number 3 on for the rest of the lines

Nortel Networks is intentionally deceitful in their manual (forcing you to call them for assistance that you must pay for). While they say to use Feature 84/Line Direction for calls to an external line, this will not work. (Even when the phone tells you that all calls have been redirected.) Rather, use Feature 4/Call Forward. In the manual it says this is for other lines within the system, but it will work for an external line.
