- You can set up 2 types of transfers. The first is a primary transfer this is done because you want a calls to a certain number or numbers to route to another number. The second is called a fail-over where you want to call to go to one destination but if that destination is down you want it to transfer to another number this will try the first destination but if no answer will then do the transfer. This guide is for a fail-over transfer if you would like to set up a primary transfer please see this Guide
- Failovers for a PBX system work if your PBX system goes down and calls cannot reach your PBX. If you PBX is cloud hosted and your local internet goes down this fail-over will not work because your PBX is still responding.
