Camp-On
Feature Interactions
3
Call Waiting
A user with no available buttons to receive a transferred call hears the
call-waiting tone when a caller uses Camp-On to transfer a call, even if
Call Waiting is not activated.
Coverage
All individual and/or Group Coverage points must be busy before a call
can be camped-on to a coverage sender’s extension. Coverage calls
answered by a receiver can be camped-on to another user.
Digital Data Calls
Data and video calls cannot be camped on.
Direct Station
Selector
When Camp-On is used to complete a transfer and the call returns, the
DSS button for the extension to which the call has been transferred goes
off and does not flash as it does for a transfer return or Park return.
Display
After Camp-On is activated, the display on an MLX display telephone
shows
Camp On:
and the caller’s extension label.
Do Not Disturb
A Camp-On call does not ring when Do Not Disturb is activated.
Group Calling
A user can transfer a call to a calling group by using Camp-On, but the
call does not return to the originating extension, even if it is not answered
within the programmed Camp-On return interval.
HotLine
HotLine (Release 5.0 and later systems) calls can be camped onto but a
HotLine extension cannot camp on to calls.
Line Request
Returning Camp-On calls cancel Line Request.
Music On Hold
When Camp-On is used to complete the transfer of an outside call, the
waiting caller hears either Music On Hold or ringing, depending on the
Transfer Audible setting.
Paging
Camp-On cannot be used for calls to busy speakerphone paging groups.
SMDR
If an incoming call is camped on but not picked up by the called
extension, the extension of the user who activated Camp-On is shown in
the
STN
(station, that is, extension) field of the SMDR report. If an
incoming call is camped on and picked up by the destination extension,
the destination extension is shown in the
STN
field.
System Access/
Intercom Buttons
A user can pick up a camped-on call by using an idle SA Originate Only
or an idle SA button.
Transfer
A transfer can be completed by using the Camp-On feature, whether or
not the destination extension is busy. When the feature is used, the
Camp-On return interval is used instead of the transfer return interval. If a
user wishing to transfer a call to an outside number activates Camp-On,
the call to the outside number is disconnected. The original call, waiting
for transfer, remains on hold.
