In theory, with the park-against-an-extension method, one should be able to define a group of extensions to serve as a
more generic parking lot and use BLF keys to monitor the call park status of each key. With the
spd
attribute of the
Number
parameter these BLF keys will include the call park feature code as a prefix to act as a short-cut to park a call
in an empty slot.
For calls parked-in-an-orbit, the administrator can define a feature key with the function
Call Park Monitor
to monitor
each orbit (one feature key per orbit; each feature monitors a different orbit number). The OBi1000 treats the Call Park
Monitor function always exactly like the BLF function; it subscribes to the dialog event package for each key (or for a
group of keys using the same group syntax in the
Number
parameter of the keys). It is however expected that the soft-
switch either notifies no calls or one call in Ringing state per orbit, as summarized in the following table.

The configuration of Call Park Monitor feature key is similar to that of a BLF feature key, except that the {
userid
},
{
extension
} , and {
speed-dial
} attributes pertain to a park orbit instead of a real extension and the
ptt
flag is not
applicable.
When the user presses the Call Park Monitor key, one of the following applies:
-
If there is no call parked, the highlighted call on the screen is parked
-
If there is a call parked, pickup the call
Call Park Ring
When there is one or more Call Park Monitor keys defined, the Call Park Ring can be enabled to play a short ring at
regular interval as an indication that at least one of the monitored call park orbits has a call parked. This feature can be
enabled using the boolean parameter

Calling Features
::
CallParkRingEnable
, which is
false
by default. There are two internal short ringtones that can be chosen for this ring:
ding
or
blop
. Which
short ring to use, as well as the ring interval and total ring duration can be set in the parameter
User
Preferences
::CallParkRingtone which takes a string value of the following general format:
{
ring-tone-url
},duration={
d-value
},interval={
i-value
}
where
-
{
ring-tone-url
} can be
ding
or
blop
or an external URL that starts with
http://
or
https://
. For best
results, the ring tone for this should be about 1-2s long.
-
{
d-value
} is the total duration in seconds to play the ring for, as long as there is a parked call. It must be greater
than 0 or equal to 0 to mean play forever. The duration parameter is optional; default value is 60.
-
{
i-value
} is the interval between the ring bursts in seconds. It must be greater than 0. The interval parameter is
optional; default value is 10
