Off-Hook Signaling
Description
Off-Hook ringing alerts a Multiline Terminal user that an incoming outside call is ringing to that station
during another call. Off-Hook Signaling helps important callers get through, without waiting in line for
the called extension to become free. The system provides the following Off-Hook Signaling options:
• Called Extension Block
The called extension Class of Service may block incoming Off-Hook Signaling attempts. This is ben-
eficial to users that do not want interruptions while on a call.
• Automatic Signaling
Calling a busy extension automatically initiates Off-Hook Signaling. This option is useful to reception-
ists, operators and others that must quickly process calls. This is set in the called extension Class of
Service.
• Manual Signaling
After reaching a busy extension, manual signaling gives the caller the choice of using Off-Hook Sig-
naling or activating other features. Extensions without automatic signaling have manual signaling.
The users can dial a service code or press a Programmable Function Key to send Off-Hook Signaling
to the called telephone.
•
Selectable Off-Hook Signaling Mode
The Off-Hook Signal can be muted ringing, no off-hook ringing or a beep in the handset-based on the
caller’s programming.
• Off-Hook Ringing
Use this option to enable or disable an extension Off-Hook Signaling for incoming calls. If enabled,
Off-Hook Signaling occurs normally. If disabled, calls queue behind the extension busy line appear-
ance and the user gets no Off-Hook Signaling indication. The second line appearance stays idle. The
caller hears ringback tone while their call waits. This is set in the called extension Class of Service.
• DID Call Waiting
An extension can optionally have DID calls camp-on with Off-Hook/Call Wait signaling, without Off-
Hook/Call Wait signaling or no signaling. This is set in the called extension Class of Service.
• Block Manual Off-Hook Signals
This Class of Service option enables/disables a busy extension ability to block off-hook signals
manually sent from a co-worker. If disabled (not blocked), callers can dial
*
at busy or busy/ring to
signal the extension. If enabled (blocked), nothing happens when the caller dials
*
to off-hook signal.
• Block Camp-On
If an extension has Block Camp-On enabled, callers to the extension cannot dial 2 to Camp-On after
hearing busy or busy/ring. If the extension has Block Camp-On disabled, callers are not prevented
from dialing 2 to Camp-On after hearing busy or busy/ring. This is set in the called extension Class of
Service.
Conditions
• An extension user cannot Camp-On to a busy extension or leave a callback if Off-Hook Signaling has
already gone through. Off-Hook Signaling allows an extension to block a caller’s ability to dial # to
camp-on.
•
You cannot send off-hook signals to an extension busy on a Handsfree (Speakerphone) call. The
called extension large LED flashes fast, with no ringing.
• The setting of Program 20-13-06 affects the BLF display for Hotline and Reverse Voice Over. Refer
to
Hotline on page 1-247 and Reverse Voice Over on page 1-469 features for additional information.
• You cannot send off-hook signals to an extension that is already receiving a voice announcement.
• An extension user can store the Off-Hook Signaling Service Code (809 / ) under a One-Touch Key to
provide quick Off-Hook Signaling access.
• An extension set as Operator in Program 20-17-01 does not follow settings in Program 20-13-05,
Program 20-13-06 or Program 20-09-07 and always receives Off-Hook Signaling.
• Program 20-09-07 and 20-13-06 must be set to 1 in Class of Service for a normal extension to re-
ceive automatic Off-Hook Signaling.
• Off-Hook signaling is not supported for Wireless DECT (SIP) telephones.
