Administration - Call Park in Control Hub

Call Park Feature Operation

To park a call to a user or Call Park Extension, the parking user puts the active call on hold and enters feature access code (FAC) *68 + (destination user’s extension) or (destination Call Park Extension). The call remains parked until it’s retrieved, or a Call Park recall occurs.
To retrieve the parked call any user within the organization can dial *88 + (extension of parked call).
To park a call using a Call Park Extension being monitored by a user’s Cisco phone, the user presses the line key associated with the free Call Park Extension.
To retrieve a call from a monitored Call Park Extension, the user presses the line key associated with the Call Park Extension holding the parked call.

Call Park Group Feature Operation

To park a call to a group, the parking user puts an active call on hold and enters the feature access code (FAC) *58. The Call Park Group service automatically hunts for the first available member of the Call Park Group to park the call against. The Call Park Group feature always starts at the first assigned member. When a member is available, and the call is parked against that member, the caller parking the call receives an announcement with the extension of the member the call is parked against. The parking user may then announce or page the parked against user that a call has been parked against their extension.
The parked caller is placed on hold until a member retrieves the parked call using *88 + (user extension) from the extension it was parked against. If the parked call is not retrieved within the provisioned recall time, the parked call is retrieved and presented to the user that originally parked the call or an alternate recall user. The recall user is a Call Park group setting and is configurable.
If the parking user’s line appears on other phones as shared or monitored, these phones also will be notified of the reverted calls as well as shown in the Receptionist Client, by default, but it can be configured to not show the reverted calls.

Alert parking user only—If a parked call is not picked up, it is reverted to the person that parked the call after the Recall Timer has lapsed. If the parking user does not pick up the reverted call and the Recall Timer lapses again, the parking user is attempted again.
Alert parking user first, then Hunt Group—If a parked call is not picked up, it is reverted to the person that parked the call after the Recall Timer has lapsed based on the configured recall time. If the parking user does not pick up the reverted call in the set time (Alert Hunt Group Wait Time), the call will be forwarded to the selected Hunt Group. The call will then follow the hunt group routing and not be reverted.
