Camp On
DESCRIPTION
You can use the Camp On feature to transfer an outside call to a busy phone.
CONSIDERATIONS
The call stays on hold until the phone becomes available, then rings through
automatically. Camp On makes it unnecessary to place the call on hold, recheck
the busy phone until it becomes available, and then transfer the call.
Calls can stay “camped” for up to five minutes without any attention from the
person who originated the Camp On procedure. However, if the busy phone
doesn’t become available within the preset Camp On return interval, the call
rings again at the originating console or phone.
● You can set the Camp On return interval from one to five minutes.
● In order to receive a Camp On call on a particular line, the person must have
that line administered to his or her phone.
● Camp On calls function like transferred calls at the receiving phone. To the
caller, and to other system users, Camp On calls appear to be on hold.
● If the phone has Do Not Disturb activated, a Camp On call does not ring but
the green light next to the line button flashes.
● Only one Camp On call can be assigned to a particular button on a phone.
This is true of Pool Access buttons as well as buttons for individual lines and
line pools.
● When more than one call is camped onto a phone, the camped-on calls are
handled in “last-in, first-out” order.
