Configuring Operational Features

A call waiting feature notifies the user currently on the phone, of a new incoming 
call. You can disable this call waiting feature, so that the new incoming call is 
automatically rejected by the phone with a busy message. A User or 
Administrator can configure this feature.

If you disable call waiting on the phone, and the user is on a call, any further 
incoming calls will receive busy unless “Call Forward Busy” or “Call Forward No 
Answer and Busy” is configured on the phone. It will then forward the call 
according to the rule configured. The phone can only:

•

transfer the currently active call

or 

•

accept transferred calls if there is no active calls.

If call waiting is disabled:

•

on the 6757i CT bases, and the handset is currently on a call, all additional 
incoming calls are rejected on the handset.

•

intercom calls are treated as regular incoming calls and are rejected.

•

pre-dialing with live dial pad disabled still accepts incoming calls.

•

the “Incoming Call Cancels Dialing” parameter is ignored because the 
incoming call is automatically rejected.

•

the Missed Calls List does not get updated with details of calls.

•

the Blind Transfer feature on the phone may not work if two calls are made to 
the phone at one time.

You can enable/disable call waiting using the configuration files or the Aastra 
Web UI.
