Description
3
Camp-On allows you to complete a transfer to a busy extension. The call is put on
hold until the extension can receive a call; then it rings automatically. While the
call is on hold, the caller (inside or outside) hears special ringback. The person at
the busy extension hears a call-waiting tone to indicate that a call is waiting. If the
call is not answered within the programmed Camp-On return interval (30–300
seconds), the call returns to the originator. The originator hears a priority ring (one
ring and two beeps) to indicate a returning Camp-On call.
Camp-On can also be used to complete a transfer to an extension that is not
busy. This can increase the amount of time before the call returns to the originator
because the return call is timed according to the Camp-On return interval (30–300
seconds) instead of the transfer return interval (1–9 rings). Camp-On can be
activated by using either a programmed button or a feature code.
Considerations and Constraints
3
A Camp-On return interval of 30 to 300 seconds in increments of 10 seconds can
be programmed. The factory setting is 90 seconds.
A person at a destination telephone hears a call-waiting tone when a call is
camped on even if Call Waiting is not programmed on the destination extension.
Multiple calls can be camped-on to individual extensions.
To use Camp-On, the feature must be activated while the person is listening to
ringing, a busy tone, or call-waiting ringback. Camp-On cannot be activated at
