Using Camp On

63

In contrast, Example 2 shows how a user can initiate Camp On to directly queue a transferred call on to a destination extension that is in use or busy without using the call transfer feature.

Example 2: Direct Camp On

The user at extension 1001 calls the user at extension 1004, who determines that extension 1005 is busy and cannot take the call (meaning all of its system access lines are in use). So instead of transferring and dropping the call to the call coverage for extension 1005, extension 1004 initiates the Camp On call and then hangs up. The user at extension 1001 remains on hold while the user at extension 1005 hears a tone that indicates a caller is camped on. As soon as extension 1005 is available, extension 1005 rings with a call from extension 1001.

In this example, the user at extension 1004 simply initiates Camp On after receiving the call from extension 1001.

Initiating Camp On If you have a 3Com Basic, Business, or Manager Telephone, or Attendant With Call Transfer Console, you can initiate Camp On with Call Transfer to queue a call to

an in use destination extension.

1While on a call, initiate a (screened) call transfer as described in “Announced (Screened) Transfer” earlier in this chapter.

2When you see “On Another Call” on your display panel for the destination extension, press Feature + 468 (or press the Camp On Access button if one is programmed on your telephone).

If the Camp On attempt is successful, the call originator remains on hold while the destination extension receives a Call Waiting tone.

When the party on the destination extension becomes available, the camped on call rings on the destination extension. Or, if the destination party remains unavailable and the Camp On Return Interval expires, the call is returned to you. See “More About Camp On” later in this chapter.

If the Camp On attempt is not permitted, the call originator remains on hold while the message “Not Allowed” or “Camp On In Use” appears on your display panel. See “More About Camp On” later in this chapter.
