Call Parking feature codes
Call parking feature allows anyone who has received a call to park the call on an extension, allowing any other user
to access the parked call.
To park a call, extension user could dial *4 during a live call, and then listen as the system tells you where you can
retrieve the call (usually extension 41). The second call will be parked on 42, and it continues to park on orderly.
To retrieve the parked calls, user should dial the retrieve number given by the IPPBX system. And this could be
done by any extension.
A call could be parked for maximally 120 seconds before it goes back to the extension which parked it. And the
parking lot (call retrieve numbers) could be monitored by BLF. It’s helpful if the operator wants to know if there
are calls parked on the IPPBX system.

"Supervised Call Transfer".
Blind call transfer - Where the call is transferred to the other destinations without intervention (the other
destination could ring out and may not be answered for instance).
In a live call, you can press # key and the IPPBX system prompts “Transfer”, you then enter the number to transfer
to, this call will be transferred instantly and the user can hang up. If the transferred number doesn’t answer this
call then it will go to voicemail.
If blind transfer sometimes seems inappropriate, you may use attended transfer feature. In a live call, you can
press *2 and the IPPBX system prompts “Transfer”, you then enter the number to transfer to, after someone
answers your call, you can introduce this call and hang up at which point the call is transferred.
In an attended transfer, if the third party rang for 15 seconds without answering, the extension user will go back to
the caller and the transfer is terminated. You may also manually abort the transfer by pressing * when the third
