If the phone supports call waiting caller ID, you hear a beep followed by
a short blip.
•
If the phone does not support call waiting caller ID, you hear a beep.
When the call waiting notification beep is heard, the person at the
extension can pick up another line and dial
7
and press
Dial, Send
or
to put the current caller on hold and answer the new caller. To
return to the previous call, press the flashing line key that corresponds
to the previous call. On most IP extensions, this will put the current call
on hold and connect to the other caller.
•
To terminate the current call and go back to the other caller on hold,
hang up, then go off-hook and press the button that corresponds to the
flashing line of the caller on hold. If the person at the extension does
not want to take the new call, she or he can ignore the call waiting beeps
and TalkSwitch directs the caller to the next level of the call cascade for
that extension (i.e. send the caller to the associated voice mailbox).
Conference calling with TalkSwitch
Two TalkSwitch local extensions and one outside caller
You do not require access to the telephone company’s 3-Way Calling/
Conference service to use the TalkSwitch conference calling capabilities.
1. Establish a call with an outside party.
2. Press
Conf
or
Hold
to place the outside caller on hold. Dial the local
extension you wish to conference with.
3. When the extension answers, press
Conf
to establish the 3-way call.
Two outside callers and one local extension
There are two different methods for this type of conference call. The first
method is similar to the one above, using only TalkSwitch for the conference
function.
1. Establish a call with an outside party.
2. Press
Conf
or
Hold
to place the outside caller on hold.
Note:
If you try to initiate a conference call with a TalkSwitch 9112i IP
phone, but there is no line available, you will not hear a busy signal. You
will instead be reconnected with the other caller.
