Wait for Ringback
The voice mail system puts the caller on hold and dials the
extension. If the extension rings the numbe r of specifie d times, the
voice mail system releases the call to the NEC telephone system.
If the extension is answered while the voice mai l system is counting
rings, the voice mail system puts the call through. If the extension is
busy, the voice mail system plays the extension greeting and takes
the specified action. The subscriber cannot screen calls.
Turn screening options on?
When call screening is turned on, the system uses the screening options
to control how calls are transferred to th e s ub scriber extension.
Use call holding?
Indicate if the subscriber uses the vo ice mail syste m call hold ing feature.
The call holding feature allows you t o queue up severa l callers who are
waiting for a busy extension. The voice mail system periodically tells
callers their position in the q ueue, and allows t hem to hold, trans fer to
another extension, or leave a message .

that outside callers can either pre ss 1 or say
“Yes”
to hold for an
extension. With the first type, outside callers must have touchtone
telephones. With the other type, out side callers do not need touchtone
telephones: The system listens for spoken sound, using the system voice
detect feature.
Call holding is available with Aw ait Answer and Wait for R ingback call
transfer. Call holding is not available with Releas e c all t ra nsfer.
