Abandon (Loop Supervision)
Description
Each CO line has a programming option that directs the system to monitor distant party
disconnect or False Hold conditions. This is a useful network feature in busy office
environments where the inside party accidentally presses the [HOLD], [ICM] or [DSS]
button while expecting the outside line conversation to be concluded. Anytime the
system detects a disconnect signal from the Central Office, an existing Hold condition will
be released, freeing that line for future inbound traffic.
Operation
1. While connected to any CO line:
2. Press [HOLD]
Conditions
†
The CO line must have loop supervision interrupt signal from the local carrier upon
disconnect by the outside party. All types of Hold like System Hold, Exclusive Hold
and Conference Hold are related to the Hold Abandon feature.
†
Certain Central Offices do not provide loop supervision.
†
If the outside held party disconnects, the system will automatically release the held
CO line.
At default, Call abandon is enabled for all CO lines.
