Swap Between Active and Held Calls on the Cisco IP Phone 7811
The Cisco IP Phone 7811 does not have line buttons. If you have a held call and an active call, you see the
Swap softkey. If you have more than two calls, you see the Calls softkey.
Procedure
Press Swap or Calls.
Call Park
You can use your phone to park (temporarily store) a call. You can then retrieve the call from another phone
(such as a phone at a coworker's desk or in a conference room).
There are two ways you can park a call: call park and directed call park. You'll only have one type of call
park available on your phone.
If the call remains parked for too long, you receive an alert tone. You can answer the call or retrieve it from
another phone. If you do not answer the call within a certain length of time, it is routed to another destination
(such as voicemail), as set by your administrator.
