Storing and Retrieving Parked Calls

You can park a call when you want to store the call so that you or someone else can retrieve it from another phone in the Cisco Unified CallManager system (for example, a phone at a co-worker’s desk or in a conference room). You can park a call by using these methods:

Call Park—Use the Park softkey to store the call. Your phone displays the call park number where the system stored your call. You must record this number and then use the same number to retrieve the call.

Directed Call Park—Use the Transfer softkey to direct the call to a specific directed call park number that you dial or speed dial. To retrieve the call from a directed call park number, you must dial the park retrieval prefix and then dial or speed dial the same directed call park number.

You can use a Directed Call Park button to speed dial the directed call park number and to monitor whether a directed call park number is occupied or available.

Tips

You have a limited amount of time to retrieve a parked call before it reverts to ringing at the original number. See your system administrator for details.

Your system administrator can assign Directed Call Park buttons to available line buttons on your phone or on your Cisco Unified IP Phone Expansion Module 7914.

You can dial directed call park numbers if you do not have Directed Call Park buttons on your phone. However, you will not be able to see the status of the directed call park number.
