How incoming voice calls are handled
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 A-7
by the Pipeline, is either an approximation of the Call Waiting tone provided by
most telephone companies or, on a Pipeline with a U interface, a brief “burr”
tone.
To use Call Waiting, follow these steps:
1
When you hear the call waiting tone, decide whether you want to answer the
new call.
2
If you do want to answer the new call, put the current call on hold by quickly
pressing and releasing your telephone’s switchhook (the button that is
depressed when you hang up the telephone).
3
To return to the first call, quickly press and release your telephone’s
switchhook again. This puts the second call on hold.
Using Call Hold
The Pipeline also supports Call Hold, which lets you put the current call on hold.
To put a call on hold, follow these steps:
1
Quickly press and release your telephone’s switchhook (the button that is
depressed when you hang up the telephone).
You can now make another call.
2
To return to the call you put on hold, quickly press and release your
telephone’s switchhook again.
If you have a second call, this puts the second call on hold while you take the
first call.
Monitoring telephone connections
The status menu labeled 10-100 shows whether either or both of the B channels
for your ISDN line is being used. An asterisk (
*
) to the right of B1 or B2
indicates that the channel is being used either for a voice or data call. The letter h
indicates that a voice call is on hold. The letter
D
indicates that a call is being
dialed.
In this example, B1—the first B channel—is in use.
