Calls can stay “camped” for up to five minutes without any attention from the
person who originated the Camp On procedure. However, if the busy voice
terminal doesn’t become available within the preset Camp On return interval,
the call rings again at the originating console or voice terminal.

In order to receive a Camp On call on a particular line, the person must
have that line administered to his or voice terminal.
Camp On calls function like transferred calls at the receiving voice
terminal. To the caller and to other system users, Camp On calls appear
to be on hold. The caller hears music while he or she is waiting, if the
system has the Music-on-Hold feature.
If the voice terminal has Do Not Disturb activated, a Camp On call does
not ring but the green light next to the line button flashes.
Only one Camp On call can be assigned to a particular button on a voice
terminal. This is true of Pool Access buttons as well as buttons for
individual lines and line pools.
The administrator can set the Camp On return interval from one to five
minutes.
