SECTION 11

SET THE CALL

When the voice mail system tries to transfer a call and the line is busy, the caller can hold until the line becomes free. This process is described in Call Holding. The following field on Switch Setup screen Page 2 affects call holding.

Max lines holding total/Max lines holding for ext

On Line 14, you may specify the maximum number of calls allowed to hold in the system at one time and the maximum number of calls allowed to hold for any one extension at one time. Each holding call occupies one port, so set the maximum to a value less than the voice mail system total number of ports to avoid having the whole system tied up with calls on hold.

HOLDING PATTERN

When a caller is holding for an extension, the voice mail system attempts to transfer the caller several times, then returns to ask if the caller still wants to hold. The fields on Line 15 control this pattern. For details, refer to Chapter 2 Call Hold, Transfer, and Screen.

Number of tries between TT checks

Specifies the number of times the voice mail system should attempt to transfer the call between checks with the caller. The default value is 4.

Extra hold time between tries

Specifies how long (in tenths of a second) voice mail should wait between transfer attempts. Setting this field lower puts calls through quicker. Setting it higher makes the holding conversation sound better to the caller. The default is 50; the voice mail system waits 5 seconds between transfer attempts.
