8. For each waiting field reception configure one or more waiting field keys to monitor
and process exchange line calls. For internal calls configure a separate internal
waiting field key (optional, see manual for the telephone).
Sequence for Call Acceptance in Waiting Field
Call acceptance in the waiting field is carried out as follows:
•
If all of the waiting field receptions have been switched off, the telephones ring according to
normal call distribution.
•
After switching on one or more waiting field receptions, the calls in the respective waiting
field are signalled on the waiting field keys of the enabled waiting field receptions.
Important:
After switching on the waiting field reception, any call forwarding for
subscribers configured for the telephone, parallel calls as well as the do-not-
disturb function are switched off. Not until the waiting field reception is
switched off (on the telephone) will these functions (for example, call
forwarding on an answering machine) become available again. The function
in question (except parallel calling) must be switched on again.
