Features Used with Internal Calls

The following features can be used with internal calls:

Bridged Call - lets you join an existing telephone call on a busy multiple line appearance. (See “Bridged Call” on page 3–3.)

Busy Override - lets you enter a conversation on a busy extension. (See “Busy Override” on page 3–5.)

Busy Standby Queuing - lets you stay on the line until the busy extension you have dialed becomes free. The CBX then dials the extension. (See “Busy Standby Queuing” on page 3–6.)

Buzz - lets you signal the telephone of another person, such as a secretary, with a special tone. (See “Buzz” on page 3–17.)

Callback Request - directs the CBX to complete calls to busy extensions while you wait. It lets you hang up and have the CBX call you back when the extension becomes free. After you answer, the CBX dials the number for you. (See “Callback Request” on page 3–7.)
