[Asterisk-Users] Call on hold disconnects...

Sat Dec 18 07:46:06 MST 2004

Dialing #700 is, in fact, parking the call.

That mainly used when you want to transfer the call to yourself, at
another extension.

Say you pickup the call In your office, and want to continue it in the
server room.

You can transfer it there, run over, pick up, then run back and hang up
and go back to the server room and continue the phone call (if you not
out of breath -:-))

If you use parking, you dial #700 and hangup.

Go to the server room, pickup and dial the extension number you got from
the park app and resume talking.

Are you having the phone place the person on hold, or are you having *
place them on hold?
I dial #700 and it puts them on hold and they stay there,
it also reads off to me the number I dial to get them off hold.

That's both true and false.

We have a legacy PBX here. Panasonic make.
Analog extensions connected to it (a.k.a "stupid" extensions) behace
exactly like the grandstream - you can put a call on hold, but if you
put the handset back on the cradle it's bye bye Mary.

Digital extensions (a.k.a "smart" extensions) can hold a call
indefinitely.
They can do other neat stuff too...

	Antony,
	Thanks. It seems that the GS will not keep the call on hold.
	In the real world though, when you place a call on hold, it is
held until
	further action.
	The caller will hear messages, music, anything while you are
gone to look
	for a file, etc.

	Technically, if you place the call on hold and put the handset
back on the
	cradle, you DID NOT HANG UP to end the call.
	If you want to hang up the call you will first have to take the
call off
	hold... No.

		OK. I guess I was not clear. Sorry.

		The phone rings.
		The person picks up the handset and speaks to the
caller.
		He then puts the call on hold by pressing the "HOLD"
button on the GS

	So far, so good.

		The hand set is placed back on the cradle (as is done on
a regular
		phone with a hold button)

	I'm not sure I agree with this.   Some phones may allow you to
hang up and
	not
	disconnect the call, but I don't think it's universal.   Some
phones
	interpret this to mean "oh, you want to hang up? Okay - I'll
hang up the
	call
	then."

		The call is disconnected.

	Well, yes, because you hung up.

	What happens if you do something else, like dial another
extension, or
	press
	the hold button again (perhaps to retreive the original caller)?

	I repeat one of my original questions - if this is not what you
expected
	to
	happen when you hang up the phone, how would you expect to hang
up the
	call
	when you wanted to?

	Antony.
