Managing incoming calls supports different policies for incoming calls. Per default it displays a
popup window which allows you to decide whether you want to refuse or accept the request for
an incoming call. Furthermore Gnomemeeting offers three additional behaviors: Busy
mode, Free for Chat and Forward.Busy modeIf this mode is enabled Gnomemeeting refuses all incoming requests and only allows outgoing
calls. You are not able to receive any call and do not notice if another user tries to contact you except when looking at the Calls History.This mode can be enabled by selecting Call -> Busy in the main window.Free for Chat modeIf this behavior is activated Gnomemeeting accepts all incoming calls. It does not display a
popup window but tries to establish the connection to the remote party immediately.This mode can be enabled by selecting Call -> Free For Chat in the main window menu.ForwardGnomemeeting has the ability to forward calls (H.323 Call Forwarding) to another host. Which
allows you to configure Gnomemeeting to forward all incoming calls to a specified URL. Furthermore
it is able to forward calls interactively when you do not answer the call after a configurable amount of time or when you are busy.
Call Forwarding can be configured by selecting Call -> Forward in the main menu or through the preferences window. Notice that you need to specify an URL where to forward calls in the preferences to be able to activate tht option. Open the preferences window by choosing Edit ->
Preferences in the main window and select Call Forwarding on the left. You will now see the appropriate section. It contains three checkboxes for the three cases described above
and one textfield for the IP address/hostname of the host the calls shall be forwarded to.
