A release transfer is done to the caller id.

Instead the user initiating the live reply will be taken to the sender’s greeting.  Live reply will always obey the transfer rule of the sender, just like if the user initiating the live reply had dialed the sender’s extension at the Opening Greeting.

By default this is 0, which means these advanced settings are disabled (not used).

The alternate contact number can be entered in the SA, when the administrator sets the caller input key to transfer to an alternate contact number, or the administrator can leave the alternate contact number empty and allow the user to enter their own number through the TUI conversation (it is in the settings menu, from the main menu press [45] in the standard conversation).  There are a total of 12 alternate contact numbers possible, one for each caller input key. This is different from Unity, where only one alternate contact number can be configured.  A transfer to an alternate contact number is just a release transfer. If the number is busy the caller will be returned to the greeting.
