If you do not select the
Use same line connect
check box, the TalkSwitch unit will put the
caller on hold, and then use a second line to try the remote extension. The second line will
be from the hunt group selected in Step 4.
If you enable the same line connect feature, the user at the remote extension will not be
able to transfer the call to another extension.
When the same line connect feature is in use, the caller hears silence while they are on hold.
This is because the caller is on hold at the telephone company and not at the TalkSwitch
unit. If you want the caller to hear music on hold while their call is being forwarded to the
remote extension, do not use the same line connect feature.
The same line connect feature is not compatible with some telephone company lines.
An administrator can change the
Use same line connect
setting by phone. Enter command
mode by either pressing
#
on an analog extension phone, or
*55#
on an IP phone. Dial the
system pa
#
, the remote extension number, and then
9800#
to turn off same line
connect, or
9801#
to turn on same line connect.
