4.4.3 Accept Waiting Calls
The call waiting tone is a signal tone that can be heard in the receiver announc-
ing that a further caller is trying to reach you during a current call.
The basic setting for the TELES.iPBX 8TR Box is
call waiting permitted
. The
function can be freely switched on and off for any individual port (see section
5.6, page 40).
When you hear the call waiting signal, you have two options to accept this call:
1) You end the current conversation by hanging up. Your telephone will ring
then so you can answer the call.
2) You put the current conversation on hold with
Ρ
and answer the incoming
call with

. In order to hold and alternate between both calls press
Ρ
again.
Note:
When you hold and alternate between two parties or find your-
self on hold you also hear the call waiting tone. As soon as you
hang up the receiver, the previous connection ends and the wait-
ing call is answered.
The call waiting tone can always be heard by both parties. Ex-
ternal calls can only be accepted by the parties that were actu-
ally called.
You can switch off call waiting (section 5.6).
