Using TalkSwitch
If you have the External Paging option enabled on TalkSwitch, you may choose to
announce over the P.A. system (by pressing
0) that there is a call parked in a
specific Park Orbit for a co-worker. For example: "Bob, please pick up 501." - which
tells Bob that he can retrieve the parked call from any extension by getting dial tone
and pressing
501. The caller will now be connected to Bob at that extension.
If
you have Direct Line Access enabled at your extension, you will need to press
‘flash’ first before retrieving the parked call.

Call Queue - Queuing and retrieving callers
Call Queue is a useful feature for placing multiple callers on hold at your extension.
It is similar to the telephone company feature Call Waiting. Call Queue is enabled
in the Call Cascade section in the Call Handling folder for Local Extensions and
Extension Ring Groups. Callers will get queued at your extension if you set the first
level in the ‘Busy at extension’ Call Cascade to ‘queue caller’.
If an extension is chosen at the Auto Attendant or the caller is transferred from
another extension and the extension is currently busy and has ‘queue caller’ set for
the ‘Busy at extension’ Call Cascade, the caller will hear one of the following prompts
then music (if enabled) while they are on hold:
If the call came from the Auto Attendant and the extension has a voice
mailbox:
“The extension you have reached is currently busy. If you wish to continue
holding, please remain on the line. To leave a voicemail message, press 1,
and to return to the main menu, press

on this line and the extension has a voice mailbox:
