3.1.2  

Call Waiting Tone/Call Waiting 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Call Waiting Tone/Call Waiting

Definition  
If a caller reaches a busy extension, a call waiting tone sounds after 5 s to let the called party know that a call is waiting (camp-on). The called party then has the option of answering the call without ending the call in progress. If the called party has a display telephone, the display also indicates that the camped-on call is waiting.
An immediate call waiting tone is possible at a busy extension for V1.2 and later. The appropriate flag must be set for the port. The calling party hears the ring tone immediately instead of the busy tone.

Dependencies/Restrictions  

 Subject  
 Dependency/Restriction  
Call waiting rejection  
If a user has activated call waiting rejection, a caller cannot camp on.  
CorNet  
Call waiting in a networked system depends on whether or not the system flag is set:  
 •   if the system flag is not set (default setting), call waiting indication occurs immediately.
 •   if the system flag is set, call waiting indication only occurs if the caller is an attendant console. All other subscribers do not camp on in the network.
CorNet-NQ  
Call waiting in a networked system with CorNet-NQ occurs with a five-second delay, as is the case with internal calls. No flags are set in this case.
Group call  
If one or more stations in a group call are free, the call will be offered to them. The other group members are not signaled. If all stations are busy, all of them receive a call waiting signal.  
Speaker call  
Speaker calls to busy stations are not possible.  
Automatic recall  
Recalls of low-priority external calls that cannot be signaled are intercepted. Displaced internal calls are released.  
Call waiting tone  
Users can deactivate the call waiting tone for external calls using a procedure or Manager E. This setting does not affect signaling on the display.  
Call waiting tone on/off  
Individual stations can enable/disable the tone at their station. Default is: Tone On.  
Call waiting rejection on  
This station flag prevents any type of call waiting tone to be injected in the conversation. This flag is also called Data Line Security in the HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E. When set, this flag will also prevent this station from being overridden. The calling station will only hear the busy tone.
