The notification receiving methods (Call Waiting tone, OHCA, and Whisper OHCA) are available only when
the called extension is having a conversation with another party. If the called party is not yet connected
with the other party (e.g., still ringing, on hold, etc.), the calling extension will hear a ringback tone and will
be kept waiting until the called extension becomes available to receive the call waiting notification.
•
If none of these notification receiving methods (Call Waiting tone, OHCA, or Whisper OHCA) are set at the
called party’s extension, the caller will hear a reorder tone.
