Off-Hook Signaling

Off-Hook Signaling

Description

Off-Hook Signaling helps important callers get through.

When a user is busy on a call, Off-Hook Signaling indicates that another caller is trying to get through. Off-Hook Signaling helps important callers get through, without waiting in line for the called extension to become free. After the user hears the off-hook signal, they can use other system features (such as Hold or Park) to process their active call and then answer the waiting call.

Off-Hook Signaling for Outside Calls

While a keyset user is on a call, Off-Hook Signaling for outside calls can be:

While on a handset call,

-A flashing green Ring/Message lamp

-A flashing red or green line/loop key

-Muted off-hook ringing

(While Off-Hook Signaling ringing is occurring, use Volume Up and Volume Down to adjust the vol- ume of ringing.)

While on a handset or Handsfree call,

-A flashing green line/loop key

-Camp-On tones

The following chart shows when the two types of Off-Hook Signaling occur. Note that Camp-On tones occur for an extension when they are the exclusive recipient of the call (such as a DIL).

Off-Hook Signaling for Intercom Calls

While an extension user is on a handset or Handsfree call, they can receive Camp-On tones from a co-worker that called them and dialed 2 to Camp-On. Turn to Call Waiting / Camp-On(page 28) for more on how to set this up. Off-hook ringing for Intercom calls is not available.

Off-Hook Signaling for Hotline Calls

While an extension is busy on a handset call, the system provides unique handling of Off-Hook Signaling for calls from their Hotline partner. This unique handling occurs when the Hotline partner calls the extension by first pressing their Hotline key. The Off-Hook Signaling can be Camp-On tones or Voice Over. The default is Camp-On tones.
