Using Telephony Services
If you have an AR140 Internet Router with voice ports, you can connect up to
two telephones, facsimile machines, answering machines or modems. You can
use them in the same way that you use them on a regular telephone line, and
can use them at the same time as the ISDN line is being used for data. The
router supports ISDN supplementary services. These services must be
provided on your ISDN line before you can use them on your AR140. Check
with your telephone company to confirm whether these services are available
to you and if so, if there are any additional charges for them. Typically these
features are only supported on your first directory number, in which case you
may want to request that they be supported on your second directory number
as well. This usually costs more.
The supplementary services supported are:
■
Call Waiting - requires Additional Call Offering (ACO)on your ISDN line.
■
Conference (3-way) Calling - requires Flexible Calling on your ISDN line
■
Implicit Call Transfer - requires Flexible Calling on your ISDN line
■
Call Forwarding
■
Reminder Ring
Call Waiting
ISDN Call Waiting allows you to place a call on hold while you answer another
incoming call on the same directory number. By default call waiting is disabled
on both phone ports, but can be enabled on either port from the “Phone and
ISDN Information page” on page 96 or by the terminal command: “SET PBX
EXTEN=[0|1] CALLWAITING=ON”.
The Call Waiting feature on your ISDN line works the same way it does on a
regular analog line.
■
After hearing a call waiting indicator tone, press and release the flash hook
button on your telephone. This will put your current call on hold, and
answer the incoming call.
■
To switch back to the first call, press and release the flash hook button on
your telephone.
