When there are no available extensions in an incoming call distribution group, the group members can
receive the Call Waiting tone. To use this feature:
•
Select the Group Call Waiting mode through system programming. This determines the distribution
method for waiting calls.
•
Member extensions must assign the Call Waiting mode individually, or they will not be notified. (

[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.
