Call Hold (CH) 
 

Definition  
Users can interrupt a call in progress without releasing it. Doing so places the call on hold. Call hold (CH) is important in conjunction with other features such as call waiting, consultation hold, toggle, and three-party conference. The ISDN port on hold receives an indication of the hold state and retrieval of the call.

CH  
For multi-device connections only. In the case of PABXs, the connection is placed on hold in the CS. The information element is transmitted to the trunk.  
Non-ISDN stations do not receive an advisory announcement (except that the station is placed on hold in the CS).  
A call can be placed on hold only in the active phase or during connection setup.
