An Analog station user can place a call on hold and hang up without losing the call. After holding the call, the user may originate or receive other calls on the same line and alternate between the two calls, holding one call while speaking to the other.
The Call Hold analog feature is only possible during a stable two party talk state.
This feature allows only an Anate (including Off Premise Station) to place one of the following connections on hold freeing up the line for other calls :
  • Partner device is an Anate.
  • Partner device is a Digite (CMI / Keyset / DFT).
  • Partner device is a Functional Device.
  • Partner device is an analog CO/TIE trunk.
  • Partner device is a digital CO/TIE trunk.
If the held party releases, the hold position becomes available for new calls.
Once a party is placed on hold, the call can only be retrieved by the same Anate that placed the call on hold.
Only one party can be held in the call hold location at a time. If a station attempts to put a second call on hold while another is on hold, the second call is placed on hold. The first call is removed from hold and reconnected to the station user activating hold.(in effect the user hastoggled the calls
