Call Queuing Parameters
The Call Queuing parameters control the number of callers allowed in holding queues for
the Octel 50 system and the prompts voiced to callers holding in queues. Call Queuing is
only available when Enable Automated Attendant is on, and when call progress is used.
Call Queuing Parameters - #78
Maximum
Number of
Callers Allowed
in Queue
This parameter specifies the total number of callers the
Octel 50 system permits to be holding in queues at any one
time.
When/How to Use
When setting this parameter, consider the following:
•
Set this parameter high enough to accommodate as
many callers as possible, but low enough so all the
inbound ports are not constantly tied up with callers
on hold.
•
Do not set this parameter higher than the number of
ports installed on the Octel 50 system.
Related Parameters/Features
The number of ports enabled for inbound calls determines
the maximum number of callers allowed in the Octel 50
system.
If Set Too High
All inbound ports on the Octel 50 system are tied up by
callers on hold. If this occurs, the Octel 50 system will be
unable to receive inbound calls.
If Set Too Low
Callers will not be able to wait in queues. Set this parameter
to 0 to disable it.

Call Queuing Parameters - #79
Voice “Extension
is (still) busy”
while in Queue
This parameter determines whether the Octel 50 system
voices,
“I’m sorry, but that extension is busy right now,” to
callers after the system first attempts to transfer them to a
busy extension enabled for call queuing.
If this parameter is enabled, and the caller is in the first
queue position, the Octel 50 system voices,
“I’m sorry, but
that extension is still busy,” each time the system attempts
to transfer the caller to the busy extension.
Callers in any queue position but the first do not hear this
phrase again until they move up to the first position in the
queue.
