Call Waiting

Description
During a conversation, a call waiting tone informs the user of another incoming call that is
waiting. He or she can answer the second call by disconnecting or placing the current call on
hold. Call waiting tone can be activated or deactivated by dialling the appropriate feature
number.
Conditions
• The call waiting tone is generated when an outside call (except a DISA (Direct Inward
System Access) call) is received, or when an extension caller executes Busy Station
Signalling (BSS).
• Setting Data Line Security temporarily cancels Call Waiting which has been turned on by
an extension user.
• For proprietary telephone users, two types of call waiting tone can be selected to prevent
them from missing the tone by Station Programming (Call Waiting Tone Type Selection).
