Special Functions for Business Applications
The functions described in this paragraph are especially intended for
the business applications. Nevertheless they could also be used in pri-
vate homes to e.g. save money with Call Through.
Reception and Secretary Function and Text before Answering
Waiting Loop: This function offers an indirect transfer of an external
calling partner to an internal subscriber if this one is busy. The external
calling partner can be put into the waiting loop. There he is held for up
to 3 minutes and is listening to the Music on Hold in the meantime. If the
corresponding internal subscriber is not busy anymore, he will be called
for up to 60 seconds. If he takes the call, he will immediately be con-
nected to the external subscriber.
A special configuration of the function is not necessary.
Waiting Field: (only available for COMpact 4410 USB and COMpact
4406 DSL in combination with a system telephone COMfort 2000 plus
Xtension module) This function enables the configuration of a Waiting
Field Reception that can park, retrieve or forward incoming exchange
line calls in a Waiting Field (these are listening to the Text before
Answering once and then to Music on Hold). The Waiting Field is espe-
cially useful if many calls have to be taken at the telephone reception at
the same time. Depending on the number of available external B chan-
nels up to 8 calls can be taken and managed.
Boss-/Secretary function: (only in combination with a system tele-
phones COMfort 1000, COMfort 1200 and COMfort 2000) This function
shields the boss´ telephone against direct calls by redirecting these
calls to the secretary's telephone. The main difference to a standard call
forwarding is, that the boss´ telephone can be reached from the secre-
taries telephone and important calls can be switched from the secretary
to the boss´ telephone.
Announcement before answering: (only available for COMpact 4410
USB and COMpact 4406 DSL) This function enables a welcome mes-
sage to the caller before taking the call. If a called subscriber does not
take the receiver when it rings once (within 5-24 seconds), the call will
be taken by the PBX (the external caller will be charged). The external
caller will hear a welcome message (e.g. information on the company)
while the called telephone is still ringing. As soon as one of the called
subscribers picks the receiver up, he will be connected to the external
caller.
Required Configuration for the Waiting Field Function
The following configurations have to be made with COMset to use the
Waiting Field:

Module) as a Waiting field Reception (switchable on/off).
Assign external telephone numbers to the Waiting Field Receptions in
the external call distribution. As soon as an Waiting Field Reception
is active, all of these call will only be signalled in the Waiting Field. The
other internal telephones will not ring anymore for these external tele-
phone numbers. One exception: The external telephone number is set
to „delayed" for the Waiting Field Receptions and to „immediately" for
the other subscribers. If the waiting field reception is deactivated, all the
telephones will ring again as configured in the call distribution.
The following configuration may be made with an internal telephone or
with COMtools:
Record a „Text before Answering" via telephone
