Suffixes
For each attribute: 0 for NO, 1 for YES, and % for any value.
Broker Call
The subscriber that has a correspondent on line and another on hold can pass alternately from one to the other.
Three-Party conference
The three party conference is available for all sets which have the corresponding COS. At least one correspondent must be local.
Intrude
If his respective COS allow it, subscriber A can enter during the course of the conversation of subscriber B that he/she has called.
Ringback on free or busy set
Any subscriber calling a digital set (40xx and 43xx) which is busy, or free and is not answered, can request the automatic call back by dialling a suffix (automatic call-back on free/busy).
Waiting Camp-on
From a classic or digital set, when a busy, internal set is called, the subscriber dials the waiting camp-on suffix. The called party hears a communication camp-on signal. They can consult this camp-on by dialling the camp-on consultation suffix.
Loudspeaker paging
The subscriber is authorized to transmit a spoken message without a reply to digital sets which are equipped with a speaker.
Call announcement
The subscriber who has this privilege can force the answer of the called-party by merely pressing a key. This function involves an activation of the speaker on the called set ; the called party hears the voice of the caller, he may take the call.
Enquiry Call
During a communication, the subscriber can go into conversation with another correspondent (either to take a waiting call, or to call another correspondent) without losing the first communication.
i don' know for your installation but users come with Phone features class of service n° 0 witch allow user for those suffixes (when in comm)
