How Do I Do This

Answer a call using Call Waiting?

Switch back to the first call?

When you hear the Call Waiting tone, press and release the switch hook button to put the first call on hold and connect to the second call.

If you do not answer the second call, the caller will hear a ring.

To put the second call on hold and switch back to the first call, press and release the switch hook button.

Toggle back and forth between the two calls?

End a call when I hear the Call Waiting tone (instead of putting the call on hold)?

Disconnect a call on hold?

Press and release the switch hook button.

Hang up the phone and wait for it to ring. (The phone rings to indicate that there is an incoming call and the B-channel LED flashes.)

You are connected to the second call when you pick up. Or, if you already have a call on hold while on an active call and you want to end the active call before returning to the call on hold, hang up the phone and wait for it to ring back. Pick up the phone to reconnect to the call on hold.

To disconnect a call on hold, make the call on hold active by pressing and releasing the switch hook button. Then, simply hang up the phone to drop the active call. If the other caller is still waiting on the line, the phone will ring.

What if the active caller hangs up from the far end?

What if the caller on hold hangs up from the far end?

If the active caller hangs up from the far end, the call on hold will remain on hold until you retrieve it by either pressing and releasing the switch hook button or by hanging up the phone and then answering it when it rings.

If the caller on hold on the far end hangs up, you will receive no notice. When you try to access that caller, either you will remain on the same call (if you do not have Flexible Calling) or you will get a dial tone (if you have Flexible Calling and it is enabled).

The ISDN LAN Modem can support a maximum of two simultaneous voice calls per phone port. If you already have two calls up (one active and one on hold) and a third call comes in, that caller hears the “user busy” tone unless you have Voice Mail, in which case the call is sent to your voice mail box.
