Call waiting

Call waiting is used to notify an internal, busy user B that another user C is waiting
to talk.
User B can choose to take C's call (and put the original call on hold, end the original
call or set up a three-party conference) or reject it.

Detailed Description

Operating sequence / signalling on the termi-
Interface
nal
B B hears the dampened call waiting tone, which is
played into the current call. If B has a terminal
with display, the call number or name of caller C
is indicated, provided his CLIP / CNIP information
is available.
C • C obtains the ring-back tone by way of confir-
mation.
• C obtains the busy tone if call waiting is not
allowed or not available and if B rejects the call
waiting.

If C is an external user, call waiting is effected automatically (i.e. C cannot activate call waiting), providing the
user receiving the call waiting has enabled the feature.
If B is in an outside call , call waiting will only work if this feature is enabled for out-
side calls, too (applies to the entire system).
If Courtesy Service (announcement prior to answering) is activated and user B does
not respond to the external call waiting, the calling user C will obtain announce-
ment prior to answering.
Tip:
If call waiting is disabled, the Attendant for example has the possibility of
sending a text message to users who have a system terminal with display,
and to do so even during a call (e.g. "Urgent international call").
