Page 125Camp-On
To use Camp-On, the feature must be activated while the person is listening to
ringing, a busy tone, or call-waiting ringback. Camp-On cannot be activated at
other times, and no error tone sounds when a caller unsuccessfully tries to use
Camp-On at an inappropriate time.
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), Camp-On does not
work for calls on non-local extensions.
Telephone Differences 3
Direct-Line Consoles 3
When a DLC system operator uses Camp-On to transfer a call to a busy
extension, the call is placed in the call-waiting queue; the caller hears the
call-waiting tone whether or not the user has the Call Waiting feature activated.
If the system is programmed for one-touch Transfer with automatic completion, an
operator uses Camp-On by pressing the Transfer button, dialing the extension
manually, and activating Camp-On.
If an operator presses an Auto Dial or DSS button, the transfer is automatically
completed and Camp-On cannot be used.
Queued Call Consoles 3
A Camp-On button cannot be programmed on a QCC. Instead, the operator
makes a call to a busy extension by selecting
&DPS2Qfrom the display. The call
does not return to the QCC queue until the Camp-On return interval expires. If the
operator presses the Release button, the extension being called receives the
call-waiting tone and the call returns to the QCC queue when the transfer return
interval expires.
To use Camp-On when the system is programmed for automatic extended call
completion, a QCC operator must press the Start button, dial the extension
manually, activate Camp-On, and either press Release or hang up. If the operator
presses a DSS button, the transfer is automatically completed and Camp-On
cannot be used.
Other Multiline Telephones 3
Camp-On can be used when a multiline telephone user hears ringing, a busy
tone, or call-waiting ringback while transferring a call. To use Camp-On to
complete the transfer, press a programmed Camp-On button, or press the
Feature button and dial
. On MLX display telephones, a user can also press the
Feature button and select
&DPS2Q from the display.
