Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This System Programming procedure lets you change the hold disconnect time
for an outside line. When a caller on hold hangs up, the local telephone
company may send a special signal to the system to free the line. There are two
possible signals: a long signal (450 milliseconds) used by most telephone
companies, or a short signal (50 milliseconds) used by a few telephone
companies. The length of the signal is called the hold disconnect time. If you
put a call on hold and the caller hangs up, but the call does not disconnect
within a minute after the caller hangs up, use this procedure to change the hold
disconnect time.

If the telephone company does not send a signal, keep the hold disconnect
time set to Long. The user must disconnect a held call manually by
retrieving the call then hanging it up.

Change the hold disconnect time only if abandoned calls do not disconnect.
