1.1 Incoming Call Features

1.1.3.5Call Waiting

Description

A busy extension user can be alerted to a new call by Call Waiting. The busy extension user can then answer the second call either by disconnecting the current call or placing it on hold.

If Call Waiting is enabled, a call waiting tone will be sent to the user under the following conditions:

a)When an outside (CO) line call or a doorphone call is received, or

b)When another extension executes the Busy Station Signalling (BSS) feature. If disabled, a reorder tone will be sent to the extension that executed the BSS feature.

Call Waiting from the Telephone Company

Besides the Call Waiting feature provided by the PBX, you can also subscribe to your telephone company's Call Waiting service and receive call waiting tones through the telephone company's lines. This feature is available when an extension is in a conversation with an outside party, and a call is received from another outside party on the same outside (CO) line. The external call waiting tone will alert an extension user of the incoming outside (CO) line call that is waiting. The user can answer the second call by disconnecting the current call or placing it on hold. If a call waiting tone is heard but the corresponding CO button does not flash, this tone is an external call waiting tone from the telephone company. For details, consult your telephone company.
