While the caller is on hold at your extension you will hear a ‘Call Waiting’ beep in your ear every 60 seconds. If you want to rotate through queued callers, dial ‘flash’ then ‘7’. The caller you are speaking to will be placed on hold, and the first caller in the queue will be retrieved. If you have multiple callers queued up, pressing ‘flash’ then ‘7’ will retrieve callers on a first in/first out basis.

3.2.6.2 Queuing callers to an Extension Ring Group

If you want to queue callers for a Ring Group, you can configure this action using an Auto Attendant. This feature is sometimes referred to as Automatic Call Distribution.

Example: Configure Auto Attendant 1 so that if callers press ‘5’ they will be queued to ring group 301 for technical support. Now when a caller presses ‘5’ for tech support, they will immediately enter the queue. Every 60 seconds the caller will hear the following prompt: “Your call is important to us, please remain on the line. To return to the previous menu, press star.” Extensions that are part of the ring group and are available will start ringing within 5 seconds of hanging up the phone from a previous call. The 5 second delay gives you time to make a new call or activate ‘Do not Disturb’ as a log out option. After your extension rings 5 times, it will ring once every 16 seconds and when picked up, you have the option to take the call or make a new call.
