CCF Definitions

Call Forward: There are three types of call forwarding:

  • Call Forward All Calls: This feature allows the user to program a station so incoming calls are rerouted to another UT station or an outside number in the local Austin area.
    Note: This feature overrides CALL FORWARD BUSY and CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER.
  • Call Forward Busy: With this feature, calls to your telephone are programmed by Telephone Services to ring at another designated number when your number is busy.
  • Call Forward No Answer: With this feature, calls to your telephone are programmed by Telephone Services to ring at another designated number if your station is not answered by the end of the third ring.

Note: If CALL FORWARD BUSY and CALL WAITING are assigned to the same line, the first call coming in while the line is in use will generate a call-waiting tone. If a third call comes in while the second call is waiting, it will forward to the CALL FORWARD BUSY number.
 
Call Hold: This feature allows you to place a call on hold so that you can activate another feature, for instance, CALL PICKUP and then return to your original call.

Call Park: This feature allows you to "Park" or hold one call against your station. The parked call can be retrieved from any station on the University telephone system. You may use your telephone for other calls while the call is Parked.

Call Pickup: With this feature you can answer a call that you hear ringing at another telephone within your office or work area.

Call Transfer: This allows you to transfer calls to another station within the University telephone system.

Call Waiting: This feature informs you, while you are on a call, that a second call is coming in for you. The second calling party hears ringing while you receive a call-waiting tone. You can place the established call on hold, alternate between the two callers, or abandon one of the calls.
Note: If CALL WAITING and CALL FORWARD BUSY are on the same line, the first call coming in while the line is in use will generate a CALL-WAITING tone. If a third call comes in while the second call is waiting, it will forward to the CALL FORWARD BUSY number.

Cancel Call Waiting: This allows you to cancel the CALL WAITING feature for the duration of a call. While you are on the line and this feature is activated, additional incoming calls will receive a busy signal and no Call Waiting tone will be generated.

Conference Three-way: This feature allows you, while on an established call, to place the original call on hold, dial and add to the conversation a third station inside or outside the University telephone system.

Consultation Hold: This allows you, while on an established call, to place the original call on hold and call any other station inside or outside the University telephone system.

Directed Call Park: This feature works like CALL PARK except that it allows you to park a call against another station within the University telephone system.

Directed Call Pickup: This feature allows you to answer a specific ringing telephone near your desk.

Hold: This allows you to place a call on hold and hang up the handset.

Last Number Redial: This feature lets you redial the last number dialed from your telephone.

Make Set Busy: This feature allows you to program your telephone so that you will not receive calls. Callers will hear a busy signal. You will hear a short ring (splash ring) each time someone calls as a reminder that the feature is activated.
Note: Splash ring may not be generated on lines on an electromechanical (1A2) key system unless the timing is adjusted on the line card.

Ring Again: This feature, sometimes called automatic callback, enables the system to call you back when a busy station within the University telephone system becomes free. Ring again does not interfere with the normal operation of either station involved.

Speed Calling: This feature permits you, as an individual or as a group of station users, to access a programmed list of frequently called numbers by dialing a one or two-digit code instead of the complete number.

  • Short List: This list holds 10 of your most frequently called numbers.
  • Long List: This list holds up to 30 of your group's most frequently called numbers. Long lists can be shared by several telephone users.

Station Classes of Service (Calling Capabilities)

One of three types of service can be assigned to each campus telephone line:

  • Class A: Primarily used by University faculty and staff. These lines allow full calling capabilities, including long distance and international dialing based on user requirements.
  • Class B: Restricted from using the University paging system and faculty/staff long distance system; primarily used as residence hall telephones.
  • Class C: Used to dial campus numbers. Restricted from making calls to or receiving calls from outside the University telephone system except for 9-911; primarily used as convenience phones in lobbies, conference rooms, elevators, and other locations requiring campus only service.

Call Forward All Calls (CFI)

This user activated feature allows incoming calls to be rerouted to another campus phone. If you have CALL FORWARD BUSY or CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER on your telephone, activating CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS will override these features only while it is activated.

To Activate Call Forward
What You Do What You Hear
1) Lift the handset from the cradle. Dial Tone
2) Dial the activation code "72". Stutter Dial Tone
3) Dial the number to which calls are to be forwarded. (Dial the five-digit station number for campus phones). Confirmation Tone
To Cancel Call Forward
What You Do What You Hear
1) Lift the handset from the cradle. Dial Tone
2) Dial the deactivation code "73". Confirmation Tone
3) Replace the handset in the cradle.  

Notes:

  • To check the status of CALL FORWARDING on your telephone, dial the activation code "72" from your telephone. You will hear a fast busy tone if your telephone is forwarded, or stutter dial tone if your telephone is not forwarded.
  • CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS will override CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER and CALL FORWARD BUSY.
  • Many telephone problems involving the inability to receive calls have been traced to forgotten or unintentional Call Forward activation on a user's telephone. If you suspect you are not getting calls, check to see if your phone is forwarded.
  • Once a call has forwarded, it can only be transferred back to the original called station from the phone to which it was forwarded. You cannot transfer a call back to the original party if you use CALL PICKUP to answer a forwarded call. This is true for CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER, CALL FORWARD BUSY and CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS.
  • Call forward can only be deactivated from the telephone line from which it was activated.
  • Only one call can be forwarded by the system at a time. The second forwarded call will receive a busy tone because the remote "forwarded-to" station is handling the first call.
  • A SPEED CALL code can be used to enter the station number forwarded to, when activating the call forward feature.

Call Forward Busy (CFB)

CALL FORWARD BUSY allows incoming calls to be rerouted automatically to another phone when your line is busy. This feature is programmed by Telephone Services. There is no need for additional programming by the user. Please call Telephone Services at 1-5711 for assistance.

Return to top

Call Forward No Answer (CFD)

CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER allows incoming calls which are not answered by a designated number of rings to be rerouted automatically to another phone number. This feature is programmed by Telephone Services. There is no need for additional programming by the user. Please call Telephone Services at 1-5711 for assistance.

Notes:

  • When a call is forwarded by CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER to a busy station assigned CALL WAITING, the call will appear as a call waiting.
  • CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER and CALL FORWARD BUSY may be programmed to the same or different numbers.

Return to top

Call Hold (CHD)

The CALL HOLD feature allows the user to place one call on hold, and activate another feature or make a call. CALL HOLD is unlike HOLD which allows you to hang up the telephone while you attend to another task. If you hang up after dialing the CALL HOLD feature the telephone will ring immediately with the held party on the line.

  • If you hang up after activating the CALL HOLD feature, the call on hold will ring back immediately at your telephone. To place a call on hold while you complete another (non-telephone) task see HOLD.
  • If you have CALL HOLD and CALL WAITING, you must activate CALL HOLD before you can retrieve a call waiting.

Return to top

Call Park (PRK)

This feature allows you to "Park" or hold one call against your station and frees your phone for all other uses. The parked call can be retrieved from any station within the University telephone system by dialing the appropriate code and the station number against which the call is parked.

To Park a Call
What You Do What You Hear
You are on an established call:  
1) Hookflash Stutter Dial Tone
2) Dial the Call Park activation code "78". Confirmation Tone
3) Replace the handset in the cradle. Your phone is now free to be used for any other purpose.

Notes:

  • While parked, the party will hear music. Inform the caller of this before parking the call.
  • You may use your telephone to make or receive calls while a call is parked against your number, giving it a distinct advantage over HOLD. The parked call can be held indefinitely.
  • CALL PARK cannot be activated during a THREE-WAY CONFERENCE CALL.

Return to top

Call Pickup (CPU)

This feature lets you answer calls that come to other stations within the same pickup group. All stations within the group must have this feature assigned. To pick up a call, dial the feature access code for CALL PICKUP, "77". You can do this from any instrument in your CALL PICKUP group. An immediate connection is made between you and the incoming call.

To use Call Pickup when you hear ringing from another telephone in your group, lift your handset and dial the Call Pickup code "77".

Notes:

  • If two or more phones in the same group are being called (even though you may not have heard more than one phone ringing), using CALL PICKUP will answer the the line that began ringing first. To answer a specific phone that is ringing, see SEE DIRECTED CALL PICKUP.
  • This feature is recommended even if you know an unanswered station in your group will forward to you. The caller will not have to wait as long to be acknowledged.
  • CALL PICKUP cannot be used to answer a RING AGAIN recall.

Return to top

Call Transfer

CALL TRANSFER allows you to transfer incoming calls to another station or to the University operator.

What You Do What You Hear
You are on an established call:  
1) Tell the caller you are going to transfer them.  
2) Hookflash. Stutter Dial Tone
3) Dial the new station number (last 5 digits). Ringing
OR  
3) Dial "0" to transfer to the University Operator. Ringing
4) Replace the handset in the cradle (see Notes).  

Notes:

  • At step 4, once you hear the ringback tone and replace the handset in the cradle, the caller being transferred hears the ringing of the phone to which you have just transferred. The caller does not hear anything until you replace your handset in the cradle. If you hookflash, instead of hanging up, you will establish a three-way conference. (See CONFERENCE, THREE-WAY.)
  • If you wish to announce the call, stay on the line until the third party answers, state your message, then hang up. After a one and a half second pause, the two other parties will automatically be connected and can converse. The person on the receiving end of a transferred call should note that there is a pause of about one and a half seconds before he can be heard by the caller.
  • If you stay on the line while transferring a call to a station that does not answer, hookflash twice to disconnect from the ringing phone and return to the original party. (If you hookflash once, you will establish a three-way conference with the original party and the ringing telephone.)
  • Similarly, if you transfer to a station that is busy, hookflash twice to drop off the busy signal and return to the original party.
  • CALL PICKUP can be used to answer the transferred call whether the transferring party remains on the line or not.

Return to top

Call Waiting / Disable Call Waiting

CALL WAITING informs you, while you are on a call, that a second call is waiting. The second calling party hears ringing while you receive a CALL WAITING tone. You can place the established call on hold, alternate between the two callers, or abandon one of the calls. CWT allows call waiting from off-campus calls only. To receive a call waiting tone from on-campus calls, you must also have the CWI option. You cannot have CWI without CWT.

To Respond to a Call Waiting Tone
What You Do What You Hear
Upon hearing a call waiting tone, you can abandon the first call by replacing the handset in the cradle. Ringing (the second caller)
OR  
1) Inform the party with whom you are talking that you are going to place the call on hold.  
2) Hookflash. You are now connected to the second call.
3) Hookflash again to return to the first call. This places the second party on hold (see note 1). You are now reconnected to the first call.
Notes:
  • You can toggle back and forth between the two calls by doing a hookflash as often as you wish, as long as neither party hangs up.
  • The CALL WAITING tone will only occur twice (signifying two rings of your phone as heard by the caller). Although the caller continues to hear ringing, if you do not respond to the tone fairly quickly, the caller may assume you are not available.
  • Similarly, when you are involved in two simultaneous conversations from CALL WAITING, you can neither transfer one of the calls, nor activate any other feature.
  • If CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER is on a line with CALL WAITING, a second call will activate the Call Waiting tone but will forward after the designated number of rings.
  • CANCEL CALL WAITING allows you to cancel the call waiting feature for the duration of a call. The CALL WAITING feature returns once the call is terminated. All lines that have CALL WAITING automatically have CANCEL CALL WAITING.
To Disable Call Waiting on a Per-Call Basis

UT calls will not activate the CALL WAITING and will receive a busy signal. You cannot answer the second call and the calling party will hear a busy signal.
  • Even though you hear a short burst of ringing (splash ring) when a call is made to your line, you cannot answer a call when MAKE SET BUSY is activated.
  • A standard electromechanical (1A2) key system will not generate a splash ring unless the timing is changed on the line cards.

  • For a local number be sure to store the "9" in your list. FOR EXAMPLE: 9 4982222.
  • For a long distance number use an asterisk "*" to store a pause for the tones after the 8 and after the authorization code. FOR EXAMPLE: 8 * 111111 * 8175552323.
  • Although you can store your long distance authorization code in your Long List with the long distance number, it is not recommended since anyone knowing the speed number may use your telephone to charge calls to your account. Telephone Services recommends using the CHAIN DIAL method. (See CHAIN DIALING.)

Chain Dialing Numbers From A Speed Calling List

You may "chain" speed calling numbers, combining for example, your authorization code from your own short list, and a long distance number from your short list or from a departmental long list. For security reasons, we strongly suggest that you hand dial your authorization number and then use a speed code to dial the long distance number as shown below. Speed codes can also be used to activate features such as DIRECTED CALL PICKUP or CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS.

What You Do What You Hear
1) Dial "8". Stutter Dial Tone
2) Dial your authorization code. Confirmation Tone
3) If you have a tone dial telephone dial "*", the one- or two-digit address assigned to your stored long distance number, then "#". Ringing
OR  
3) If you have a rotary dial telephone dial "71", the one- or two-digit address assigned to your stored long distance number and wait 10 seconds. Ringing
