Setting Call Waiting Options

Call waiting options are available only if the Enable Busy Call Handling
check box has been selected, and this option is not available to group
numbers. However, the group pilot number does use the Place Caller in
Queue option discussed in the preceding subsection.
• Enable Single Call Waiting—sets up single call waiting. This feature
gives an alert tone (audio beep) to indicate that a call is waiting. This
feature must be enabled in order to conference incoming calls.
• Enable Multiple Call Waiting—enables a "personal queue" of
multiple calls waiting. You must also select the Place Caller In
Queue option under Busy Call Handling to enable this option. This
allows the user to transfer or park the current call before picking up the
next call in queue.
• Enable Live Call Handling—when enabled, allows a caller to hear a
ringback tone when the called party is in voice mail, paging, transfer,
or conference state.
Note: The call will be shown as "ringing" in AltiConsole.

Handling Unanswered Calls

The No Answer Call Handling function provide options for handling calls
when no one answers the extension within a specified number of rings.
Except for Enabling One Number Access, these options are not available
to virtual extensions. The options are somewhat different in the physical
and group extensions of the window.
To enable these options, select Enable No Answer Handling box.
Use the Number of Rings Before Handling scroll box to select a number
between 2 and 20 for the times the telephone rings before the call is handled
by the system.
Select one of the following options for no answer call handling:
• Forward to Extension—Select an extension number in the
drop-down list. See "A 10-Hop Limit to Call Forwarding for Direct
Calls" on page 10-44.
• Forward to Voice Mail (physical extensions only)
• Forward to Member Voice Mail (group extensions only)
