Hold Abandon

Each CO line has a programming option that directs the system to monitor distant party disconnect. This is a useful
network
feature in busy office environments where the inside party accidentally presses the Hold, ICM or DSS button
while expecting the outside line conversation to be concluded. Anytime the system detects a disconnect signal from
the Central Office, an existing Hold condition will be released, freeing that line for future inbound/outbound traffic.
