Park a call via blind Call Transfer and resume via Call Pickup
It is possible to park a call via Call Transfer and resume a parked call via Call Pick up from any device connected to the Wildix system.
Note: only users with certain permissions can pick up calls; to enable the option, the PBX admin must add ACL ability "Can" - "Call Pickup". Consult ACL rules and Call classes management Guide for details.
Park and Resume via Collaboration:
- To park a call, perform a blind transfer to Park orbit user:
- To resume a call, mouse over Park orbit user in your Roster -> click Options button (three dots) -> select Pick up:
Park and Resume from ANY Device connected to Wildix system
- To park a call, perform a blind transfer to Park orbit user
- To resume a call, use Feature Code "Pickup" 88
Example: Dial 884488 where 88 is Pickup Feature Code and 4488 is “Park orbit” extension.
Call returning from parking
In case a call is returned from parking to a user who is busy/ unavailable or doesn't answer, it is dropped.
To make sure no parked call is lost, set up Return from transfer feature. The configuration is described in How to transfer external forwarded and parked calls back to a receptionist.
