[ICD Group Button for Group Call Waiting]
The way that the Group Call Waiting feature works depends on the Group Call Waiting Distribution method
as follows:
a.
Ring: The Group Call Waiting feature activates for all busy member extensions (even when the
extensions do not have ICD Group buttons) simultaneously for only one incoming call—additional calls
will wait in a queue.
b.
UCD/Priority Hunting: The Group Call Waiting feature activates on an idle ICD Group button located
on busy member extensions in a certain order. (This order depends on the type: UCD or Priority
Hunting.) Calls will arrive at idle buttons until all ICD Group buttons are occupied—additional calls will
wait in a queue.
Note
In method b), if an extension has one or more ICD Group buttons for an incoming call distribution
group and all the ICD Group buttons on the extension are occupied, the Group Call Waiting feature
for the group will not work at the extension.

No Reply Redirection (UCD or Priority Hunting Method)
If a call received at a member extension is not answered within a preprogrammed time period (No Answer
time), the call will be redirected to the next member extension. If there is no idle group member, the call
queues at the target extension until a group member becomes available.
