Call Parking

 

Call park is a feature that allows a person to place a call to a 'parking bay' enabling a coworker to retrieve the call from alternate phone, or BLF presence key. The parking bay is usually set against the main number, enabling the parked call to be returned to the main number if it exceeds the allocated parking bay time.

 

In the example below we have enabled Call Parking on the customers main phone number 1-760-68-8100. The customer can set 10 parking slots.

Park a call and send it to a Specific Bay

One of the options we have to set up Call Parking is when you park a call to be taken on a specific park bay.

The Call Park garages required a *1 short code to call the bays. In the example above, we therefore must assign *1701 and *1702 for Parking 1 and Parking 2 respectively.

Now that you have set up the Call Parking feature, choose one of the two options to configure on your handset to park and retrieve calls.

How to Park and Retrieve calls - Specific Bay

  • To park the call and send it specifically for Bay 2, press BFL Bay 2 on your handset or dial *1702.  (NB – the Parking Attendant will confirm your parking slot).

  • To retrieve the call from Bay 2, press BFL Bay 2 on your handset or dial *1702.
