Hello again everyone. I'm back with another question that is similar to a few questions out there, just not on my particular equipment.

I have a TDA100 and a TDA50 vmail system. I need to have a DID number forward automagically off site without having the number tied to an extension...Is that possible? :rolleyes:

I know, I know. THese end user questions have got to bug you guys, but how else to learn without an $85/hr price tag attached to it?!!

I'm not sure if it works on DID numbers because we don't have ANY PRI trunks on TDA systems. In CO ringing, it's so easy you'll laugh when you see the solution.

ICD groups (by default 601...6xx) have a GROUP LOG/GROUP DESTINATION tab. In that tab is CF for CO and EXT calls. Pick 666, assign 9+ your outside number in both columns, and dial it from a station.

This ICD number can now be the argument for a VM number, inside number, or CO ring destination.
You get to test if it works for DID assignment.

BTW we do this for cell phone destinatons without giving out the cell number.

It will work on did on pri's.
in DID table point it to ICD group and you can set group forward on to 9- phone number as Carl said.

Thanks, I'll give that a try!!
