Hold Disconnect Time (#203)

Hold Disconnect Time (#203)

Description

This System Programming procedure lets you change the hold disconnect time for an outside line. When a caller on hold hangs up, the local telephone company may send a special signal to the system to free the line. Different telephone companies use different length signals. The length of the signal is called the hold disconnect time. If you put a call on hold and the caller hangs up, but the call does not disconnect within a minute after the caller hangs up, the hold disconnect time is probably set too high, or set at No Detection.

Considerations

If the telephone company does not send a signal, keep the hold disconnect time set to 450 msec, the default setting. The user must disconnect a held call manually by retrieving the call then hanging it up.

Shorten the hold disconnect time only if abandoned calls on hold do not disconnect.

Lengthen the hold disconnect time only if calls are being disconnected prematurely.
