NEC I-Series Multibutton Telephone Feature Handbook

							After you call a busy extension, use Call Waiting to wait in line (i.e.,
Camp On) without hanging up. When you Camp On, the system sig-
nals the busy user indicating that you are waiting. Your call goes
through when the busy extension becomes free.
Call Waiting also helps when you are on the phone because it lets you
know when additional calls are trying to get through. Call Waiting lets
your callers wait in line without being forgotten.
Note:When you call a busy attendant, your call will normally stack
up in queue behind other waiting callers.
1. Call the busy extension. You must hear
busy tone.

							When you call a busy extension, you can leave a Callback request for
a return call. You do not have to repeatedly call the busy extension
back, hoping to find it idle. When you leave a Callback, the system
handles your request as follows:
When the busy extension becomes idle, the system rings you.After you answer the Callback ring, the system then rings the for-
merly busy extension. (If that extension doesnt answer, the system
cancels the Callback.)
As soon as the other extension answers, the system sets up an
Intercom call between you and them.
If your phone has Automatic Callback, you answer the Callback ring
as soon as you lift the handset. If your phone doesnt have Automatic
Callback, you must press the ringing line appearance key to answer
the Callback ring.

							Caller ID allows a display keyset to show an incoming caller’s tele-
phone number (up to 12 digits) and optional name. The Caller ID
information can be displayed either before or after answering a call.
Normally, the system provides the Caller ID post-answer display.
With the pre-answer display, you can preview the caller’s number
before picking up the ringing line. Your Communications Manager
can tell you which option you have. This information is stored in
Caller ID bins. 
Display telephone users have the ability to check the identity of an
incoming call while they are currently busy on a call. The type of
information that displays will depend on the type of call being
received. Intercom calls will display station names, while incoming
trunks calls will display Caller ID, ANI or the name assigned to the
line. Depending on the system programming, this information can be
displayed either automatically or manually.
Caller ID will temporarily store 16 calls (this included abandoned or
unanswered calls). New calls replace the old calls when the maximum
number of calls is reached.
