Attendant Auto-Manual Splitting

This feature allows the attendant to disconnect from a calling party temporarily (split) in order to call another party prior to connecting the two parties together. It is not an independent procedure, but is used in connection with other call-handling steps.

The procedures for using the Attendant Auto-Manual Splitting feature are described in detail under “Splitting Calls” in Chapter 3. The steps involved in splitting are incorporated into the procedures for Extending Calls (also described in Chapter 3).

A t t e n d a n t C a l l W a i t i n g

This feature allows a call extended from the console to a busy single-line voice terminal inside the system to wait at the called terminal. Call Waiting is automatic. After the extension number is dialed, the attendant hears Call Waiting ringback tone, and the busy voice terminal user hears a 2-burst tone.

You must tell the calling party that the extension is busy and the call is waiting before pressing the Release button, not after call returns.

When you put a call in call waiting and press the Release button, the call is off the console; other calls can be handled.

If the call is not answered before a preset time expires, the call returns to a console. The Atnd lamp at an idle call appearance flashes, timed-reminder tone is heard, and the call

identification and call purpose are displayed. Answer the returning call the same way that you answer any incoming call. (Refer to “Timed Reminder”for more information on handling

a returned call.)
