A.4.1.2 Call Hold from the SIP Side
Call hold from the SIP side is similar to call hold on the ISDN side. The SIP user can use a
SIP RE-INVITE to put the call on hold. The following SDP attributes indicate a hold:
a=sendonly, a=inactive or IP = 0.0.0.0, or any combination of these parameters.
If the SIP peer puts a call on hold, the data-path is disabled. No signaling action occurs
towards the ISDN phone and no tone is beingplayed.
A.4.2 Call Transfer
The MediaPack supports call transfer using the SIP REFER mechanism. A user which has
two calls (one on hold and one active), can initiate a transfer to connect the two remote
parties.
A.4.2.1 Call Transfer Initiated by the SIP Peer
There are two types of call transfers:
 Consultation Transfer (Refer and Replaces):
The common way to perform a consultation transfer is as follows:
In the transfer scenario there are three parties: Party A (transferring), Party B
(transferred), and Party C (transferred to).
a. A Calls B.
b. B answers.
c. A holds the call, and then dials a call to C.
d. A connects B to C, and then A disconnects.
e. After the transfer is complete, the B and C parties engage in a call.
 Blind Transfer (Refer):
Blind transfer is performed after a call is established between A and B, and then party
A decides to immediately transfer the call to C, without speaking with C. Party A can
perform this by sending a REFER message.
The result of the transfer is a call between B and C (similar to consultation transfer,
but skipping the consultation stage).
Call Transfer requires no configuration.
