Call Waiting Tones
Call Waiting is a feature that tells you if a new caller is trying to contact you when
you are already on the phone.
A discreet tone alerts you to the new caller, so you can answer your second
incoming call by putting your first caller on hold.
The IP phones use the following Bellcore-specified call waiting tones.
For Asterisk and Broadworks servers, call waiting tones are specified by the
default Bellcore tones indicated in the table
Ring Tone Pattern (Asterisk/
Broadworks Servers)
on
page 76.
For Sylantro servers, call waiting tones are specified by the Bellcore tones you
configure in the Aastra Web UI or the configuration files. See the table
Ring Tone
Pattern (Sylantro Servers)
on
page 77.
Note:
If the "Do Not Disturb" (DND) or the "Call Forward" (CFWD)
feature is enabled on the server-side, and the user is still waiting for a call,
the "Bellcore-dr5" is a ring splash tone that reminds the user that these are
enabled.
