Set-Based Features

Set-Based Features

Definition

 

Set based features are features that a user can enable from a phone set.

 

These features are an example of how SIP-based networks are able to

 

transfer much of its intelligence to its end-points.

 

Many SIP IP phone sets have a variety of “smart” features. The VOCAL

 

system supports the following set-based features:

 

Call Transfer

 

Calling Number Delivery

 

Calling Name Delivery

 

Caller ID

 

Call Waiting

 

AdHoc Conferencing

Transfer

 

The Transfer key on a phone set allows the user to direct a call to another

 

number or person. There are two types of transfers:

 

Consult Transfer -With consult transfer you consult the other party before

 

 

transferring the call. To consult transfer a caller, you would press the

 

 

transfer button to place the caller on hold. You will hear a dial tone and

 

 

can dial the number you want to transfer the call to. Wait until the other

 

 

party answers the call and inform them you are transferring the call.

 

 

Press the transfer button on the phone set to complete the transfer.

 

Blind Transfer— With blind transfer you transfer the caller to another party

 

 

without announcing the caller to the called party. To blind transfer a caller,

 

 

you would press transfer to place the caller on hold. You will hear a dial

 

 

tone and can dial the number you want to transfer the call to. Pressing

 

 

transfer after dialling the number will immediately transfer the call.

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some analog phones, which are attached to IP gateways, use a

 

 

“flashback” key in place of a “transfer” key.

Calling Number

 

Calling Number Delivery, or commonly called Call Display Number, provides

Delivery

the called party with the number of the caller, the date and time of call.

Calling Name

 

Calling Name Delivery, or commonly called Call Display Name, provides the

Delivery

called party with the name of the caller, the date and time of call.

Caller ID

 

Caller ID requires display equipment or application. The name and/or

 

number of the caller are displayed on the called party’s display equipment or

 

application.

Call Waiting

 

Call waiting allows a user to receive an incoming call while the user is on

 

another call. The user places the first call on hold while answering the

 

second call.
