dial code to pickup parked call?

[dandenson]

Is there a way to dial a code on an ATA attached cordless phone to pick up a parked call? Has to be numeric, can't dial SPx.

Create extension 771,772,773 and forward each to an external number SP1,SP2, SP3, etc.
Then those phones can dial the 3 digit extension (I use 77 because that is the number for S and P)
There could be occasional issues with this - it is not officially supported.

Any other "dial codes" used from an ATA connected phone generally require a flash/dialtone before using. Most codes are industry standard, to an extent, across different manufacturers, but in many cases, can be customized. there is usually a list, in the device GUI.

transfer 771

no transfer key on a cordless.

flash button?

 

[dandenson]

so just hook flash and transfer to the 'forward' extension? in this case, 4 digit extension so I did 7701, 7702, 7703. hook flash, 7701, once it rings, hang up?

There is attended transfer and unattended transfer.

As i recall, to do an unattended transfer from an ATA (which i assume your DECT phone uses), you have to do a flash, then the code for unattended transfer (check the ATA), then the extension number, then hang-up.

The flash, plus extension number only, means you must wait for the person to answer, then hang up.
