Visual Call Park

Visual Call Park is an optional Unified Communications functionality. Once requested, the appearance of the available Visual Call Parks is represented in the line keys / Busy Lamp Field (BLFs) on every phone that’s in the customer’s location. It is either vacant or occupied (with a parked call).

Everyone on the site sees the same parking spots and their status (whether a call is parked or not), and can either park a call in a vacant spot, or retrieve a call from an occupied spot.

For consistency, all phones in the location must be provisioned precisely the same way, in this case being the Poly Edge 350. The client must also select between 4 parking spots (up to 12 phones per site), or three parking spots (up to 16 phones per location).

To use Visual Call Park, while on an active call:

1. Press the Home button, so the Line Key view is displayed. Here you will see your available Visual Call Park spots.
2. Proceed to park the call at any vacant call park spot by tapping the VISUAL CALL PARK (VCP 1) spot.
3. Once this is complete, the call will be parked and indicated by a white phone icon.
4. Once the call is parked, everyone in the location can see the parked call occupying the parking spot.
5. Any user can then retrieve the call to his / her line freeing up that spot.
6. To retrieve the Parked Call, press the corresponding line key.
