Note: To take full advantage of the supplementary phone services available through the
VMG's phone ports, you may need to subscribe to the services from your VoIP
service provider.
23.10.2.1 The Flash Key
Flashing means to press the hook for a short period of time (a few hundred milliseconds) before
releasing it. On newer telephones, there should be a "flash" key (button) that generates the signal
electronically. If the flash key is not available, you can tap (press and immediately release) the
hook by hand to achieve the same effect. However, using the flash key is preferred since the timing
is much more precise. With manual tapping, if the duration is too long, it may be interpreted as
hanging up by the VMG.
You can invoke all the supplementary services by using the flash key.
23.10.2.2 Europe Type Supplementary Phone Services
This section describes how to use supplementary phone services with the Europe Type Call
Service Mode. Commands for supplementary services are listed in the table below.
After pressing the flash key, if you do not issue the sub-command before the default sub-command
timeout (2 seconds) expires or issue an invalid sub-command, the current operation will be
aborted.
European Call Hold
Call hold allows you to put a call (A) on hold by pressing the flash key.
If you have another call, press the flash key and then “2” to switch back and forth between caller A
and B by putting either one on hold.
Press the flash key and then “0” to disconnect the call presently on hold and keep the current call
on line.
Press the flash key and then “1” to disconnect the current call and resume the call on hold.
If you hang up the phone but a caller is still on hold, there will be a remind ring.
