For a called extension

A call waiting notification is sent to the busy extension user to notify him or her that a new incoming call is waiting. The extension can then answer the second call by either disconnecting the current call or placing it on hold.

One of the following notification methods can be assigned for each extension, depending on the type of telephone being used. (Default: Call Waiting Tone)

Call Waiting Tone: A call waiting tone is heard through the built-in speaker of PT or handset of SLT (

Answering Call Waiting in the PBX
