Referral Services Codes These codes tell the IP phone what to do when the 
user places the current call on hold and is listening to 
the second dial tone. 
One or more *code can be configured into this 
parameter, such as *98, or *97|*98|*123, etc. Max total 
length is 79 chars. This parameter applies when the 
user places the current call on hold (by Hook Flash) and 
is listening to second dial tone. Each *code (and the 
following valid target number according to current dial 
plan) entered on the second dial-tone triggers the IP 
phone to perform a blind transfer to a target number 
that is prepended by the service *code. 
For example, after the user dials *98, the IP phone 
plays a special dial tone called the Prompt Tone while 
waiting for the user the enter a target number (which is 
checked according to dial plan as in normal dialing). 
When a complete number is entered, the IP phone 
sends a blind REFER to the holding party with the 
Refer-To target equals to *98<target_number>. This 
feature allows the IP phone to hand off a call to an 
application server to perform further processing, such 
as call park.
The *codes should not conflict with any of the other 
vertical service codes internally processed by the IP 
phone. You can empty the corresponding *code that 
you do not want to IP phone to process.
