[cisco-voip] Call Manager question

Wed May 26 20:12:20 EDT 2010

So there is a mobile operators that plays a different ring tone when someone is on their cell phone, so you know they are already on the phone?   I haven't seen that, I have seen where you hear a fast busy then telco comes on and asks if you want a callback when the line is free for like 75 cents. I guess they didn't make enough revenue as those messages have mostly gone away since the 1990s.

It is a trivial feature for some customers. I have ran into this before. It is not on any roadmap as it just not that important in the scheme of things. If this was such a critical piece of functionality you or the system integrator should  have found this out in the discovery phase. The net result is this is not a fault of Cisco or Call Manager.

I don't know what is the great deal about that in order not to have natively in CUCM...customers are asking for this trivial feature; that they see very basic with other phone systems like mobile operators who play a different ringing tone to the calling party and send a notification to the phone that the other end is on waiting.

Is there a roadmap for this?

You'd have to send it to a 3rd party application that could play the appropriate in-band recording, and then treat the call as desired.

For phones with only one line, yes that would present a problem.

Also, what about calls coming from PSTN, No display appear to them :)

This is a great idea as it enables the called user to receive the second call if he wishes to, but the only constrain for this is it needs a phone with 2 lines, so the simple phones with only 1 line will not be applicable, right?

The caller only receives a busy tone if the busy trigger is hit, and no CFB destination is set.  In this case you would be setting the CFB destination to another line on the phone, and using that line's alerting name (or display, whatever setting works) to update the display of the calling phone to indicate that the user's primary line was busy.

Example:
Joe at 1000 calls Mary at 2000.
2000 is busy, CFB to *2000.  DN *2000 is line 2 on Mary's phone, with an Alerting Name (or Display) set to "BUSY - Mary".
Joe's phone will show To: BUSY - Mary (hopefully).

You can word it however you wish, but hopefully you get the what I'm talking about.  The downside is that Mary's phone would be ringing on a different line, which could impact ring settings, etc.

this means that the busy trigger will be set to 1, and in this case the caller will get a busy tone which will solve the problem, but this will prevent the user from receiving a second call which is a needed feature.

You could try forward busy (busy trigger) to a second line with an Alerting Name set to indicate that the user is busy.

I believe your only option is to set the call busy to 1 then setup the busy greeting in Unity (or UC).

Dear all, I have a question about are there any way to indicate to a calling user who calls a user phone with a busy trigger set to 2 that this called user is on another call ? because by default the called user (who is already on a call) will see another call come into his phone screen BUT the calling user will have no idea that this user is on another call.
