Parking a Call

You can “park” a call on a designated line so that it can be picked up from another phone in the office. The call is on hold until it is “unparked” or the caller hangs up. During this time, the caller will hear the call park music, if configured by your phone administrator.

You can use star codes for this feature. For more information, see Using Star Codes on Cisco IP Phones, page 76. On Cisco SPA301 and SPA501G, this feature is available only by using the star codes.

The devices also provide multiple call handling features, including call waiting, call transfer, and three-way calling, which enhance collaboration among teams. Notably, they come with integrated security protocols, ensuring calls are kept private and secure.

In addition to their basic features, the Cisco SPA301 and SPA303 benefit from the extensibility of the Cisco Smart Call Home Technology.
