The LEDs and symbols on the call keys indicate the following states:
Calls in the Call Waiting Queue
The system administrator can configure and activate a
call waiting queue
especially for your telephone in the Forum 500 / Forum 5000 system.
While you are making a call, new calls can be queued. These callers first hear
an announcement (if the system administrator has preset an announcement)
and then the ring tone. The number of calls permitted in the call waiting
queue is set by the system administrator during system configuration, 5 calls
for example. When this number is reached, further callers hear the busy tone.
The calls in the queue are put through in order of priority (baby calls, door
calls, VIP calls, other internal and external calls), irrespective of the order in
which they came in.
Calls that have been in the queue for too long are removed, and the callers
then hear the busy tone. The period of time until an external call is released is
set by the network operator. In most European countries this is usually three
minutes.
Your telephone can have a call waiting queue even if it belongs to a
subscriber group, where it simultaneously affects call forwarding.
If several call numbers are configured for your telephone (e. g. on trunk or
team keys), separate call waiting queues are used for each number.
