Call Waiting Tone Period - Aastra 9143i Series Release Notes

Call Waiting Tone Period

Previously, when there was an active call on a line and another call came in, a call wait-
ing tone would be audible on the active call sounding only once.
In Release 2.6, a User or Administrator can specify a specific time period (in seconds)
for the call waiting tone to play at regular intervals on an active call using the parame-
ter "call waiting tone period". A value of "0" is the default and plays the call waiting
tone only once on the active call. When the incoming caller hangs up, the call waiting
tone stops on the existing active call.
You can enable or disable this feature in the configuration files or in the Aastra Web UI.
