Call Forward

The device supports Call Deflection (ETS-300-207-1) for Euro ISDN and QSIG (ETSI TS 102 393) for Network and User sides, which provides IP-ISDN interworking of call forwarding (call diversion) when the device receives a SIP 302 response.

Call forward performed by the SIP side: Upon receipt of a Facility message with Call Rerouting IE from the PSTN, the device initiates a SIP transfer process by sending a SIP 302 (including the Call Rerouting destination number) to the IP in response to the remote SIP entity's INVITE message. The device then responds with a Disconnect message to the PSTN side.

Call forward performed by the PSTN side: When the device sends the INVITE message to the remote SIP entity and receives a SIP 302 response, the device sends a Facility message with the same IE mentioned above to the PSTN, and waits for the PSTN side to disconnect the call. This is configured using the CallReroutingMode.

When call forward is initiated, the device sends a SIP 302 response with a contact that contains the phone number from the Call Forward table (see Configuring Call Forward) and its corresponding IP address from the routing table (or when a proxy is used, the proxy’s IP address).
For receiving call forward, the device handles SIP 3xx responses for redirecting calls with a new contact.
