“The extension you have reached is currently busy. If you wish to continue
holding, please remain on the line. To leave a voicemail message, press one.”
If the call was transferred from another extension and the extension
has no voice mailbox and there is no auto attendant on this line with a
main menu to return to:
“The extension you have reached is currently busy. If you wish to continue
holding, please remain on the line.”
While the caller is on hold at your extension, you hear a call waiting beep
every 75 seconds. If you want to rotate through queued callers, dial
Flash
7
.
The caller you are speaking to is placed on hold, and the first caller in the
queue is retrieved. If you have multiple callers queued, press
Flash
7
to
retrieve callers on a first in/first out basis.
If call waiting is enabled for the
Busy
action of a local extension, callers
hear ringing (or music if enabled) while the local extension hears a call
waiting beep and receives the caller ID for the new call. To connect to the
new caller, press
Flash
7
. To let the caller fall through to the next level of
the cascade, ignore the beep.
3.2.7.2 Queuing callers to an extension ring group
If you want to queue callers to a ring group, configure this action using an
auto attendant. This feature is also referred to as automatic call
distribution.
Example:
Configure auto attendant 1 to queue callers to ring group 301 for
technical support if they have pressed
5
. When a caller presses
5
for
technical support, they enter the queue immediately. Every 60 seconds the
caller hears the following prompt:
“Your call is important to us. Please
remain on the line. To return to the previous menu, press
.”
Extensions
that are part of the ring group and are available will start ringing within 10
seconds of hanging up the phone from a previous call. The delay allows time
to make a new call or activate
Do not Disturb
as a log out option. After 5
extension rings, it will ring once every 16 seconds. When you pick up, you
hear a prompt that provides the option to accept the queued call by pressing
or leave the caller in the queue by pressing
and returning to the
dial tone to make a new call.
3.2.8 Using call waiting
The call waiting feature is activated under
Call Handling -> Local
extensions
in call cascade section of the
Busy
tab list (
invoke Call Waiting
).
