Advanced Call Suspend Setup 

The Call Suspend feature allows for the administrator to reduce IP traffic across the 
network by bringing down the IP connection temporarily when all ports are inactive for a 
configurable period of time. When the Timeout value is reached, the phones will display 
“Suspended” and Management Console (MC) will show the port status as “Call 
Suspended” signifying that they are in the Call Suspend mode. Whenever a user goes off-
hook or an incoming call occurs, the IP connection is restored and all phones are taken 
out of Call Suspend mode. The Call Suspend screen is shown below: 

 

Path:

 Remote->Configuration->Connect->RVP_Over_IP->Port_1 (and Port_2) -

>Call_Suspend 

 

Figure 29: Remote – Call Suspend Configuration Screen 

1.  Setting Call Suspend to 

Enabled

 – When set to “Enabled” the Remote will enter the 

Call Suspend mode at the configured time. 

2. Entering 

the 

Timeout

 value – A timeout can be configured to allow the administrator 

to set when the ports will fall in to Call Suspend. Typically, at the end of the business 
day. The timeout can be set for between 5 and 240 minutes. 

3. Configuring 

the 

Minimum Connect Time

 – A minimum connect time can also be 

programmed to ensure that the connection to the PBXgateway will remain connected 
for a specified period of time prior to falling in to Call Suspend mode. The minimum 
connect time can be set for between 0 and 240 minutes. 

Timeout vs. Minimum Connect Time: 

For example, when the user initially connects by pressing “1” on the digital set connected 
to the Remote the port will fall into Call Suspend mode at the Minimum Connect Time. If, 
however, the user invokes or receives a call that is longer that the Minimum Connect Time 
value the port will fall into Call Suspend mode at the Timeout value.  

4. Setting 

for 

Remote Wakeup Only

 - If enabled, only activity at the Remote side will 

wake the system from Call Suspend (going offhook, for example). This ensures that 
any calls placed after hours to the corporate office will not cause the IP link to be re-
established.
