Introduction to the Operation
Basic Knowledge
ACaller, call waiting or call type (for special calls, for example, alarm calls,
wake-up calls)
Note:
If the phone number is entered in the telephone book of your system
telephone or in the central telephone book (short-code numbers) on the
PBX, as soon as the telephone detects the phone number, it will show
the associated name in the display instead of the phone number. The
prerequisite for displaying the phone number is that the exchange line
subscriber has not suppressed the display of his phone number or that
he has approved transmission of the phone number.
If the phone number is not available, "anonymous" is displayed.
If the name of the caller is not in the telephone book, a search for the
name can be performed using the online name search function on a
server in the Internet (see Advanced Information for the PBX). If the
phone number is transmitted for an incoming call, the PBX automatically
looks for the corresponding entry. When an entry is found, it is shown on
the display of the system telephone.

Outgoing Calls
Outgoing calls are calls that you have initiated yourself.
Options for Outgoing Calls
An outgoing call can be initiated in two ways:
Dialling the Telephone Number
If you have already picked up the receiver before dialling, the phone number
that you have entered is dialled immediately.
Dialling the Telephone Number with Dial Preparation
Dial preparation – first dialling and then picking up the receiver – makes it
possible to check the phone number entered and, if necessary, to correct it
before the connection is established.
Dialling the Telephone Number on Direct Exchange Line Access
If your system telephone has been configured as a direct exchange access
point using the configuration manager on the PBX, you will hear an external
dial a tone directly after picking up the receiver.
Initiating External Calls with Number Presentation Suppression
If you prefer that the person you are calling does not see your phone
number, you can use calling line identity restriction.

Options for Unsuccessful Calls
The following options are available for unsuccessful call:
Initiating Callback on Busy
If you cannot get through to a busy subscriber despite repeated attempts,
you can initiate a callback on busy. The PBX supports the service attribute
"Automatic callback on busy (CCBS)". This service attribute is required for
an external call.
If you have initiated a callback, as soon as the other subscriber has hung up
the receiver to end the call, the PBX (for an internal call) or public exchange
(for an external call) calls you. If you then pick up the receiver, the other
subscriber is called. If the other subscriber picks up the receiver, the
connection for the call is established. This deletes the callback procedure in
the PBX/public exchange.

Outgoing Calls
Initiating Callback on No Response
If the person being called does not pick up the receiver, you can configure
callback on no response in order to reach this person without having to call
him repeatedly. The function can be used for both internal and external calls.
The service attribute "Callback on no response (CCNR)" is supported by the
PBX. This service attribute is required for external calls.
If you have initiated a callback, as soon as the other subscriber has hung up
the receiver to end the call, the PBX or public exchange calls you. If you then
pick up the receiver, the other subscriber is called. If the other subscriber
picks up the receiver, the connection for the call is established. This deletes
the callback procedure in the PBX/public exchange.
Initiating Priority Call for Do-not-disturb
If, for example, a person must absolutely be reached in an emergency
despite the do-not-disturb function, the do-not-disturb function can be
circumvented by a priority call from an internal telephone.
Additional Options
–Performing Power Dialling (page 254)
–Configuring Scheduled Call as Call Reminder (page 298)

Query Calls
Query Calls
During a query call, you are talking with one subscriber while your previous
communication partner is on hold on the PBX in the background listening to
hold music.
A query call is initiated either by calling a query call subscriber, using pickup
during a call, or by accepting a call signalled by call waiting.
Initiating a Query Call
During a call, proceed as described in the following.
1.Select query/transfer and confirm with OK.
You will hear the internal dial tone. Your current communication partner
is kept on hold on the PBX and is listening to hold music.
2.Enter a phone number.
Important: If you must prefix e.g. an exchange line access number
when entering/selecting a phone number, depends on the exchange line
request (automatic, direct exchange line telephone, internal telephone)
that was configured in the PBX (see Advanced Information of the PBX).
Exception: With the PBXs COMpact 2206 USB and COMpact 4410 USB
in any case external numbers are entered with a leading exchange line
access number.
The subscriber is called.

Transferring
A communication partner can be transferred or connected to an internal or
external subscriber.
Options for Transferring a Call
During an existing call, the following options are available for transferring a
call:
Transfer with Announcement
In order to transfer a call, first initiate a query call, announce the call and
then connect both communication partners.
Transfer without Announcement
If you want to transfer an external communication partner to another internal
subscriber, you do not have to wait until the subscriber being called via the
query call accepts the call; you can hang up the receiver while this call is
being made. The internal subscriber will continue to be called.
Placing the Communication Partner in the Waiting Loop
If the internal subscriber to which you want to transfer an communication
partner is busy, you can place the communication partner in the waiting loop
of this subscriber.
Note: If, for example, you have accepted a call signalled by call waiting
and have therefore established a query call, you can place this call in the

transferred must be the active communication partner.
Calling a Third Internal Subscriber and Transferring to an Active
Communication Partner
Assuming that you have gained an additional communication partner from
a call, for example, from accepting a call signalled by call waiting, and this
second communication partner would like to now be transferred to
somebody else. You can now initiate a third call that connects the second
and third communication partners with each other and then continue
telephoning with your first communication partner.

Requirements:
•Initiated query call
•To connect two external communication partners, the following is required: Authorisation in the PBX for Transfer of external calls to

During a call, proceed as described in the following.
1.Select query/transfer and confirm with OK.

3.Hang up the receiver.
The internal subscriber will continue to be called. If the subscriber
accepts the call, the connection is established.
If the subscriber being called does not accept the call, the call is transferred back to your telephone 60 seconds later (your telephone rings).
Note: In order to carry out an open query call, dial the internal basis
phone number + park position and hang up, instead of dialling the
internal number (see Advanced Information of the PBX). To make this
operation more convenient, you can save the internal basis phone
number + park position on one or more programmable function keys
(speed dialling key). The LEDs for the speed dialling keys then indicate
whether a park position is available or busy.

If the internal telephone to which you are trying to transfer a call is busy,
proceed as described in the following.
1.Select waiting loop and confirm with OK.
2.Hang up the receiver.
The communication partner continues to listen to hold music.
As soon as the internal subscriber hangs up the receiver, this commu-
nication partner is called. Once he accepts the call, he is connected with
the subscriber in the waiting loop.
Note:
If the internal subscriber does not answer the call within 60 seconds, or
the line remains busy during the three minute waiting time, the call will
be transferred back to you.
If you pick up the receiver, you will be reconnected with the communication partner. You can then place him in the waiting loop again. If you
do not pick up the call within 60 seconds, the connection is disconnected
completely (for example, if your line was busy even for a short time).
