  1. Select “Call Forwarding” 
  2. Select “Set a forwarding destination” and press OK
  3. Enter the destination number and press OK
  4. Select “Save&Exit” in the menu and press OK

Configure PC

Owners of managed laptops may only need to forward the telephone, as the devices are already set up for use in the home office.

Devices in the ETH network are subject to the Use Policy for Information and Communications Technology at ETH Zurich (BOT) and must have all security patches and an up-to-date virus scanner installed.
