3Com VCX V7000 Telephone User Manual


 
86 CHAPTER 7: STANDARD FEATURES
The Call Park feature is useful when the recipient is elsewhere in the
building or you want to continue a call on another telephone and
transferring the call does not give you enough time to retrieve it.
When you park a call, you assign it a Call Park extension, which you (or
another user) use to retrieve it. The default Call Park extension numbers
are 800 through 899 inclusive. Ask your administrator to verify the Call
Park extensions for your location. If the specified Call Park extension is in
use or if no extension is specified, VCX selects the next available Call Park
extension.
A call remains parked for 5 minutes. This default value can be adjusted by
your administrator. If the call is not answered 5 minutes after it is parked,
the user who parked the call is called back. If the user is not available, the
parked call is forwarded to the user’s call coverage point.
If your telephone is part of a bridged extension, see Call Park and Bridged
Line Calls for additional information.
To park a call:
1 While you are on a call, press the Call Park button or press
Feature + 444. The Display Panel shows a default Call Park extension.
2 Press the Call Park button (or press Feature + 120) to park the call using
the default extension, or use the telephone keypad to enter a Call Park
extension from the list of extensions at your location. Notify another user

a Select an Access button for outgoing calls and dial the user’s
extension.
b When the call is answered, tell the user the Call Park extension
number, for example 818.

automatically.

The system connects you to the parked call.
