Call Parking is a feature by which a caller is put in a “parking lot” or “orbit” and can be picked up at another location by several different methods. Parking is normally activated by pressing a BLF key or a sequence of buttons. When activating Call Park, the call that is being parked will essentially be transferred to a Call Park Orbit, which is a set of open extension that hold on to a call until it has been picked up or has timed out and has been sent back to the original device.

There are two types of Call Park methods: Directed and Dynamic.

• Directed or Static – This type of parking is the traditional method parking where a call is transferred to one of the Parking extension or “Call Park Queue”. This transfer can be a manual transfer or setup with BLF keys on a Phone.
  
• Dynamic – Dynamic parking allows a person to dial *** from their phone and the system will announce the park extension/orbit available. The parker doesn’t need to know which park orbit is available as the system will automatically assign an available one
