1.3 Call Signaling
In call signalling, incoming calls for one subscriber (A) are also displayed to another subscriber (B). Subscriber B has the option of picking up these calls. The system administrator uses the relationships of the subscribers to each other to define signalling.
The calls are displayed for subscriber B in the Windows taskbar. The Pick up button is active. If subscriber B has assigned the destination subscriber’s (A) number to a Speed Dial, this will blink. Then, if the call is not picked up within 10 seconds, a single warning tone is produced. The telephone call can be picked up by subscriber B immediately or after the warning tone (
8.10 Call notification and Pickup).
Call signalling prevents calls from being "lost" (if, for example, Subscriber A’s standard Voice Box or call forwarding have not been activated).
You can enable/disable the warning tone and the taskbar display yourself in your user profile, but the call signalling will continue to be displayed in SwyxIt!.
