Unanswered pages return to you for further assistance. If the allotted time for paging announcements expires during the page, the call disconnects and you hear an intercept tone (alternating high-low, siren-like tone or fast busy tone).

Assisting Callers with Special Tools

This section covers features that allow you to provide special assistance to callers. It includes ways to hold callers on the line, interrupt an existing call, override existing features designed to block incoming calls, assist callers who need to reach a series of system users, or manage emergency calls.

Using Call Waiting

When you transfer a call to a busy line, the call returns to the console until the busy line becomes available. When the busy line becomes available, the call automatically rings through. If the line does not become available, the call rings back to you for further attention.

Example

A customer, John Steele, places a call to customer service representative Leah Hoffguard. Leah is serving another client, but hears a beep in her ear indicating that she just received an incoming call. Pat notifies the caller that Leah’s line is busy. Leah brings her current call to closure and John’s call automatically rings through to her extension.
