9. 7. 3 Queue with announcement (Number in Queue)
A's call lands at a busy call destination B. The caller will first obtain the greeting of 
the announcement service, if so configured. He will then obtain a greeting an-
nouncement, e. g. asking for a little patience as the call destination is busy. De-
pending on the configuration the caller might now obtain  music for example and 
be notified from time to time of his current position in the queue. It is also possible 
to offer the caller alternatives for handling his call at periodic intervals, which can 
be selected using the digit keys. If the call is answered, the announcements cease 
and the call parties are connected.
Fig. 233 Queue with announcement
The queue with announcement is intended for incoming external calls, but if re-
quired it can also be used for internal calls via a call distribution element.
Detailed Description
Tab. 317 Queue with announcement
The queue is a routing element which is set as the destination for a call distribution 
element for each switch position of a switch group. It is situated between the call 
distribution element and the actual destination (or combination of destinations) 
(see also Fig. 72).
The queue is assigned a virtual user's mailbox. If the call destination is busy, the ac-
tivated mailbox greeting is played back.
