Forking, Multiple Terminal Service

System Feature	See the operational directions for MULTIPLE TERMINAL SERVICE (PARALLEL RINGING) See also *Parallel Ringing, Multiple Terminal Service*
Definition	Forking means registration of more than one terminal or client on the same generic extension directory number. Whether forking shall be allowed for a specific extension number is controlled by an I/O command parameter. There are a few different registration options, like normal manual log-on, and automatic log-on (which cannot be pushed out).
Settings	Forking is set up by the administrator. Forking is available only for generic extension types. For SIP terminals, up to eight terminals can be forked if these are registered on the same directory number. For all other extension types, only one terminal is allowed.
Procedure and function	The forked extension can be ringing in parallel, similar to the parallel ringing feature, or in parallel with delay, or ringing serially, depending on configuration, but still differs from parallel ringing in some aspects due to the fact that there is only one directory number. The MX-ONE system can have interoperability with other systems using a Forking method, based on SIP extension signaling between the two systems. A user can have terminals registered as forked in both the other system and in MX-ONE, but from a user perspective the terminals appear to belong to the same system. The forking implies that all extensions belonging to a user can be reached if they are registered in either the other system or MX-ONE, regardless if the call originates from a trunk, from the other system or MX-ONE. The solution is that each user will have one number represented as a forking list in the other system, and a seizure list in MX-ONE. A call in two-party speech can be taken/moved onto another terminal belonging to the same user, by dialing a service code.

Definition

Forking means registration of more than one terminal or client on the same generic extension directory number.

Whether forking shall be allowed for a specific extension number is controlled by an I/O command parameter.

There are a few different registration options, like normal manual log-on, and automatic log-on (which cannot be pushed out).

Settings

Forking is set up by the administrator. Forking is available only for generic extension types. For SIP terminals, up to eight terminals can be forked if these are registered on the same directory number. For all other extension types, only one terminal is allowed.
