Call Waiting for ICD Group (Group Call Waiting)
If all agents in a group are busy when a call arrives they can receive a call waiting tone. The Group Call
Waiting mode selected through system programming determines how the call waiting tone is distributed
to the agents.
Note
Each member extension must turn on Call Waiting for his or her extension in order to receive a
group call waiting tone. (→ 1.1.3.3 Call Waiting)

flashing buttons only. Each extension can be programmed to not ring at
all, or to ring only after a preprogrammed time has passed. Received
calls can be answered even if they are not ringing.
