The Sipwise C5 provides the capabilities for normal call forwarding (deflecting a call for a local subscriber to another party immediately or based on events like the called party being busy or doesn’t answer the phone for a certain number of seconds) and serial call hunting (sequentially executing a group of deflection targets until one of them succeeds). Targets can be stacked, which means if a target is also a local subscriber, it can have another call forward or hunt group which is executed accordingly.

Call Forward Types

Currently 7 different types of Call Forward are available in Sipwise C5:

...


Starting from mr7.2.1 release, Call Forward on Response (CFR) has to be configured on the callee subscriber (in previous versions the preference was associated to the caller subscriber). When the destination endpoint replies back with an error code, this will be matched with the one listed in the rerouting_codes and rerouting_mode callee’s preferences.
