After calling another station and encountering a busy signal or a ring with no answer, a user can camp on to that
station, hang up, and wait to be called back by the system when that station becomes idle or when the user
returns. Likewise, a user can camp-on to a busy line, hang up, and wait to be called back when it becomes idle.
When the busy station becomes idle, the system rings the originating station and starts a timer. The user of the
originating station must take it off hook as soon as it rings and as soon as he or she does so, the camped-on
telephone rings.
When the user of the ring no-answer station uses it for any call activity, the system detects this activity as a sign
that the user has returned. As soon as that call activity is finished, the system rings the station that originated the
camp-on and starts a timer. The user of the originating station must take it off hook, and as soon as he or she
does so, the camped-on telephone rings.
When the busy line becomes idle, the system rings the originating station and starts a timer. The user of the
originating station must take it off hook before a preprogrammed time out occurs. As soon as he or she does so,
the camped-on line returns dial tone to the originating station. If the originating user does not take his or her
station off-hook before the time-out period elapses, the system cancels the camp-on. If, for some reason, the
system cannot ring the camped-on facility after the user takes the originating station off hook, he or she hears
busy tone and may camp-on again.
Camp–On—Call Waiting
If a user makes a call to a busy telephone, he or she can send a call waiting tone to the busy telephone and wait
on line for an answer. As soon as the called telephone returns to idle, it will ring with the camped on call.
Also refer to the discussion titled Call Waiting Tone.
Camp–On—No Answer
Refer to the discussion titled Camp–On With Automatic Call Back.
Central Message Desk
The installer can designate one station as the central message desk and arrange for it to have exclusive message
waiting control. A central message desk user takes messages for other system users, controls the message
waiting light at their telephones, and delivers the messages upon request.
