Call Waiting / Camp-On
Description
With Call Waiting, an extension user may call a busy extension and wait in line (Camp-On) without hanging
up. When the user Camps-On (by dialing 2), the system signals the busy extension with two beeps indicating
the first waiting call. (The busy extension can be on a handset or Handsfree call.) The call goes through when
the extension becomes free.
If an extension has more than one caller waiting, they queue on a first-in/first-out basis (FIFO). The exten-
sion will not hear Camp-On beeps for additional waiting calls.
Off-Hook Signaling also alerts the user when unanswered calls are waiting to get through. Turn to Off-Hook
Signaling (page 255) for more.
The following chart shows when the two types of Off-Hook Signaling occur. Note that Camp-On tones occur
for an extension when they are the exclusive recipient of the call (such as a DIL).
Conditions
• A system reset or power failure cancels all Camp-Ons system wide.
• While busy on a call, Camp-On tones occur only for the first incoming call and do not repeat.
Default Setting
• Call Waiting tones enabled.
Call Waiting helps busy extension users know when they have additional waiting calls. It also
lets callers wait in line for a busy extension without being forgotten.
