Call Park Orbit Code Range

The Call Park Orbit Code Range object is a child of the Dialing Plan object. It is used only if this Business Group is subscribed to the Call Park service (which applies only to SIP subscribers within the group).

A Call Park Orbit Code Range defines a range of short codes for the Call Park Orbits used in this Business Group, which typically correspond to programmable keys defined as Call Park keys on the subscribers' telephones. Each Call Park Orbit is a "location" in which you can park a call, and from which another subscriber within the group can later pick it up. (Only one call can be parked in each orbit at a time.) If you have a range of Call Park Orbits configured, this means that you can have two or more calls parked at the same time, and can choose which of these calls to pick up.


Some telephone handsets that support Call Park do not work correctly with Call Park Orbit Codes containing the # character. If you use this character in Call Park Orbit Codes, be aware that some telephones will not be able to park or retrieve calls on these orbits.

Description
First Orbit Code Create The first orbit code in the range. Specify a code consisting of 1-5 characters corresponding to telephone keys; the first character may be #, *, or one of the digits 0-9, and any remaining characters must be digits 0-9. This code must not match any other Call Park Orbit Code, Intercom Code, Short Code, or external line code defined for this Dialing Plan. You are recommended not to define orbit codes beginning with the digit 0 (zero) because this may be confusing for users. The initial digits of the code must not match any Call Services access code. For example, do not configure an orbit code of *345 if you use *3 for an access code.
Last Orbit Code Change The last orbit code in the range. Specify a code consisting of 1-5 characters corresponding to telephone keys, according to the following restrictions:
  • This code must be the same length as the First Code.
  • If the first character of the First Code is # or *, the first character of this field must be the same. All other characters must be digits 0-9.
  • The numeric value of the digits in this code must be equal to or greater than the First Code.
  • The total number of orbit codes defined by this range and any other Call Park Orbit Code Ranges must not exceed the maximum number of Call Park Orbits configured in the Business Group's Call Park Services object.
  • No value in the range between First Code and Last Code may match any other Short Code, Call Park Orbit Code, Intercom Code, or external line code defined for this Dialing Plan.
