Configuring the Call Holding Message Cycle
Use the System > Switch > Call Holding page to configure how many callers can be placed on hold, how often the
system attempts to transfer callers on hold, and how long callers can wait on hold.
The Call Holding Cycle
Specify the length of time that the messaging system places the first caller on hold before asking if the caller wants to
keep holding, leave a message, or try another extension. The message cycle is determined by the length of each
music-on-hold prompt for callers who are further back in the queue.
The actual time that a caller waits is determined by multiplying the
Amount of time between retries
field by the
Maximum number of attempts to transfer a call to a busy extension
field, and adding a few seconds. The
recommended settings are four (4) for the maximum number of attempts to transfer a call to a busy extension and five
(5) seconds for the amount of time between retries.
