The notification receiving methods (Call Waiting tone, OHCA, and Whisper OHCA) are available only when
the called extension is having a conversation with another party. If the called party is not yet connected
with the other party (e.g., still ringing, on hold, etc.), the calling extension will hear a ringback tone and will
be kept waiting until the called extension becomes available to receive the call waiting notification.

If none of these notification receiving methods (Call Waiting tone, OHCA, or Whisper OHCA) are set at the
called party's extension, the caller will hear a reorder tone.
