■ Privacy — Manual Exclusion
In the following case, the called party is not dropped when Privacy —
Manual Exclusion is activated.
A call is made to Station A and Station B picks it up using Call Pickup.
Station A bridges onto the call by going off-hook on its call appearance.
Station B activates Privacy — Manual Exclusion.
■ Tenant Partitioning
Directed Call Pickup follows existing Tenant Partitioning. The feature does
not function across tenant partitions unless specifically administered to
do so.
■ Terminating Extension
You cannot use Directed Call Pickup to pick up a call alerting at a TEG
extension number.
■ Transfer
If the Call Pickup Alerting field is enabled and a call is picked up and
transferred, the Call Pickup status lamp flashes if additional calls are
available for Call Pickup.
Call Waiting Termination
Call Waiting Termination notifies a user with a single-line telephone who is active
on one call that a second call is waiting. Single-line telephone users can place a
call on hold to answer a waiting call. After answering the waiting call, they can
return to the held call or toggle back and forth between the two calls. A
single-line, telephone user can connect to only one call at a time.
Generally, the single-line telephone user hears one quick burst of tone when a call
from another telephone user is waiting, 2 quick bursts of tone when an
attendant-handled or an outside call is waiting, and 3 quick bursts of tone when a
Priority Call is waiting.
NOTE:
Special ring tones are not supported over Direct Inward Dialing (DID)
facilities.
A priority call can wait for the telephone to become idle even if Call Waiting
Termination is not activated. However, an attendant-handled call receives busy
tone unless the Attendant Call Waiting Indication field is set to
y.
You assign Call Waiting Termination on a per-telephone basis.
