Possible values

A character string

Defaults

H

Explanation

Specifies up to 16 characters that control signals sent to the switch to transfer a call. It is important to correctly specify the code that is required by the switch for the feature to operate. The characters are:

0 through 9, #, *, A, B, C, or D
Send the digit or character.
H
Send a “hook flash” signal. Do not wait for dial tone.
G
Send a “ground key” signal. Do not wait for dial tone.
. (period)
Wait for dial tone. The maximum time to wait is specified by the Pause parameter on the TransferCall action or, if its value is 0, by the Maximum Dial Tone Wait system parameter.
, (comma)
Pause for the time that is specified by the Pause parameter on the TransferCall action.
\n
Pause for the time that is specified in n-tenths of a second (one digit only).

Example: Set this value to H\5*7\5 to transfer a call on a switch that is configured to:

  1. Accept a Hook Flash
  2. Delay 0.5 seconds
  3. Send *7
  4. Delay another 0.5 seconds before sending the telephone number.
Note: Set this value to H\5*7. for a switch that is configured to send dial tone after the *7.

When Transfer Call Request Signal is set to Signaling, this parameter does not apply; in this condition, hook flash is the method that is used to request a transfer.
