90CHAPTER 6: GETTING MORE FROM YOUR TELEPHONE SYSTEM

Call Park

Use Call Park to place a call in a “holding pattern” and make it available

 

for another person to pick up from any telephone on the system. Use the

 

internal paging feature, the external paging feature, or both, to

 

announce the call. The recipient can retrieve the call from any 3Com

 

Telephone or analog telephone by dialing the Call Park extension that you

 

give during your announcement.

This feature is useful in any of these circumstances:

The recipient is elsewhere in the building.

You want to continue a call on another telephone, for instance, in a conference room for privacy, and transferring the call does not give you enough time to retrieve it.

When you park a call, you assign it a Call Park extension, which anyone can use to retrieve it. Table 7 lists the default Call Park extension numbers. Ask your administrator to verify the Call Park extensions for your location.
