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 beneficial 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 receptionists, 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 Signaling 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 appearance 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.
