Call Park
You can use the Call Park function to transfer a call, even if you cannot locate the intended recipient 
of the call.
CO, Extension, and Network calls may be parked.
There are two ways for an extension to park a call. One way is to park the call at the receiving 
extension and to retrieve the parked call at another extension by dialing the park answer code plus the 
parking extension number. The other way is to park the call at another extension and dial the park 
transfer answer code at the other extension to retrieve the call. Beginning with Version 3.6, an 
Extension Group Pickup code allows the user to pick up a Transfer Recall (only on non-appearing 
calls), a Hold Recall, and a Station Park Recall.

Considerations
• On-Hook Transfer must be enabled for the transferring party’s Extension Class of Service 
(COS).
• If the call is not answered by the third party before the Transfer Recall Timer expires, the call 
will recall to the transferring extension.
• If a Transfer Recall is not answered before the Recall Duration Timer expires, the call will revert 
to the Attendant group.
• If the called party does not exist, the call recalls to the transferring extension.
• You cannot transfer a call to an extension that has Do-Not-Disturb (DND) activated.
• You can transfer a call to an extension that has Call Forwarding activated. The transferred call 
will follow the call forwarding path of the extension it is transferred to. For example, if extension 
221 is forwarded to extension 225, calls that are transferred to extension 221 will be forwarded to 
extension 225.
• Calls can be transferred from paging using supervised transfer.
Camp-On (Call Waiting)
Description
If you dial a busy extension, you can camp onto that extension and send a Call Waiting signal to the 
called party. The called party then needs only to replace the handset and pick it up again to be 
automatically connected to the new call. The called party can also place the first call on hold by 
Hookflashing and then answering the waiting call.
The System provides two types of call waiting: 
•Automatic Call Waiting: You do not need to enter a code to send the Call Waiting signal. 
You need only to remain on the line. 
•Manual Call Waiting: You must enter a code to send a Call Waiting signal to the busy 
extension.
