Tony,
Could you transfer the call to a specific extension that has a long time before it goes to voicemail, and then have it ring back to another extension on the console when it isn't answered. Have the party that it is parked for do a call pickup instead of an unpark? Call comes into operator, operator transfers to ext 3330, which has ring to voicemail set to 60 seconds, along with a transfer to ext. 102 after 55 seconds. Extension 102 belongs to Operator, calls to that extension have a distinctive ring for when it goes unanswered. Second call of that type gets transferred to 3331, which rings to 103 after 55 seconds., etc., etc., etc. For the called party, instead of picking up a parked call, they are doing a call pickup at an extension that is ringing for a long time......... Downfall, the caller hears rings instead of music. Hopefully I didn't miss a nuance that would keep this from working........ I think VOP will show what number is transferred to the extension as added information to help operator. And, transferring to an extension like that is very fast with VOP - drag and drop, click on paging button.

I don't know that there's a way to do that with park. Park orbit timeout / 0-out just go back to the park-er. Right, which is why I suggest a way to 'inject'... Distinctive ring is done by line on the phones, so you'd have to return to a different line to make that happen. The other way I could see would be to have the Park Server tweak the 'From' header on a returned call... that wouldn't solve your ringing problem but maybe the caller-id at least might look a little different. It would need to be visual or audible to be helpful. It might not be that problematic if one could use SLA instead, but that does not seem feasible until 3.3.0 firmware on polycom phones are supported. Something like Voice Operator Panel might help a bit with managing those orbits. I wonder if you could tag a call with a note, park it, have the note follow the call to the park and then return it with the note. Might be worth discussing with Jean. The softphone would know that you parked the call and maybe from caller-id or maybe a uuid know that it is coming back to you? Shot in the dark. Yeah, but when you have 20 calls come in in a 4 minute span during peak calls, thats not really feasible from a time perspective. Plus trying to teach multiple people the nuances of VOP is not handy either. It's just something they had and worked fine with their ancient comdial system. I am being given marching orders and trying to keep from replacing the system (call park issues in general).

On hold is done at the phone. I was hoping there was a way to inject a spefici ring back pattern, tone, or even display message when a call back is sent to a phone from specific extensions (call parks). When a call is parked and rings back THERE IS NO WAY to discern between that and a new call to the original handler. It gets difficult to handle or remember this in a volume environment. ============================ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: [email protected] LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Picher <[email protected]> To: Tony Graziano <[email protected]> Cc: Sipx-users list <[email protected]> Sent: Thu Aug 19 08:31:24 2010 Subject: Re: [sipx-users] call park enhancement discussion :: "ring-back" pattern I think that they Polycoms have a hold reminder setting...
