When an extension is programmed with Call Waiting, a user hears a tone when
his or her extension is busy, the user is off hook, and another call is arrives. For
an inside call, the user hears one beep; for an outside call, the user hears two
beeps. MLX display telephone users also see
Call Waiting
on the display. The
caller hears a special ringback to indicate that the extension is busy and that the
call-waiting tone has been sent.
A multiline telephone is considered busy when no SA or ICOM button is available
for incoming calls and, if Coverage is programmed, all coverage points are busy.
When the called party frees an SA or ICOM button and there is a call waiting, the
caller hears dequeuing tone and the waiting call appears on the free SA or ICOM
button of the called party.
A single-line telephone is considered busy when a call rings on the telephone or
the user lifts the handset and, if Coverage is programmed, all coverage points are
busy.
Each extension can be programmed with Call Waiting on or off. The default is Call
Waiting off.
The user hears a call-waiting tone for the following types of calls that ring on an
SA or ICOM button:
■
An inside call
■
A call received on a Direct Inward Dial (DID) trunk
■
A call from a remote access user
