Supplementary Services - Call Function
Supplementary Service | Function | Analog FXS Function | SIP to SIP Function (Agent Type configured as Back to Back User Agent)1
| SIP to SIP Function (Agent Type configured as Access Mode)1
|
---|
Call Transfer | Call transfer puts an active call on hold to get a dial tone and start dialing the phone number that the active call will be transferred to. The SBC supports two transfer modes: Attended. When one of the two parties involved in a call transfers the call to a third party after consulting with the third party.
Unattended.When one of the two parties involved in a call transfers the call to a third party without consulting with the third party. | | - Blind and Consultative transfers handled by the SIP REFER method.
- New INVITE generated towards the transfer target.
- SBC does not proxy or send SIP REFER to the transferee.
| - SBC does not provide Supplementary Services feature; it relays all messages to the end device.
- End device is responsible for handling the appropriate call/supplementary services features.
|
Call Hold | Call Hold puts an active call on hold.
| - Initiated by an analog phone connected to an FXS port.
- The user can perform a flash hook (quickly depressing button on the handset cradle) at any time to put the active call on hold, and another flash hook to resume the call.
- To configure on the SBC, refer to Managing Supplementary Service Profiles.2
| - If MOH is configured, it plays the MOH towards the device being put on hold.
|
Call Waiting | Call Waiting allows a party involved in exiting a call to receive another call. The receiving party is notified of the new call either by an in band tone or display notification or both. | | - End-device functionality.
- Routes second call to the SIP end device. If the SIP device supports call waiting, it will alert the called party either through in band tone or display or both.
|
Call Forward | Call Forward enables a received phone to forward calls to another destination.
| - Enables support to an analog phone connected to an FXS port.
- For incoming calls, there is a short ring before the call is forwarded.
- Configured via analog phone connected to an FXS port or via SBC's WebUI.2 For configuration on the SBC, refer to Creating and Modifying CAS Signaling Groups.2
| - Receives a SIP 3XX response from the end device and redirecting/forwarding the INVITE to the new location as defined in RFC 3261.
|
Call Park/Pickup | Call Park/Pickup enables an external device to pick up an existing call (in alerting or connected state) on the SBC. Configuration is dependent on the end device. | - | - Handles an inbound SIP INVITE with Replaces Header from the phone to pickup a parked call.
Configured on an external device (i.e., multiple SIP phones are configured to be part of a workgroup; the workgroup properties can allow the phones to pick up each other's calls).
|
Music on Hold | Music on Hold enables music to be played when a user is on hold.
