Switchhook-Flash To Transfer Calls
Using central 
office features 
The switchhook flash (SHF)-to-a-trunk feature lets you 
use central office business/telephone features to 
supplement the features provided by your HCX5000 
system. 
The most typical use of switchhhook-flash-to-a-trunk is to 
transfer calls. Transferring calls in this way prevents you 
from tying up two HCX5000 trunks.
Conditions
To transfer a call using switchhook flash to a trunk, the 
following conditions must be satisfied:
• You must be talking on an incoming call from a central 
office phone
• The trunk over which this call is received must be set up 
to use the SHF-to-a-trunk feature.
Ask your system administrator if your system is set up for 
this feature.)
Example
You receive a call over a trunk that is set up for the 
SHF-to-a-trunk feature. The call is from Mr. Smith, whose 
phone is a central office station and who wants to make a 
reservation. You must transfer the call to the centralized 
reservation service for your hotel.
