Configuring the Phone to Support Call Waiting
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921, 6941, 6945, and 6961 support one call per line. Cisco Unified CM
sets the Maximum Number of Calls (MNC) per line, and Busy Trigger (BT) per line attributes to 1 and
these fields cannot be changed, As a result, the line appears to be busy to a second incoming call when
there is an active call present on the line. Cisco Unified Communications Manager forwards the second
incoming call based on the Call Forward Busy settings for the line. The user, who is on a call will not
be notified of an incoming call. Without further configurations, the phone does not support call waiting.
However, you can configure the phone to support call waiting and receive the call by configuring an
additional line on an unassigned programmable button. When the user receives an incoming call while
connected on a call, the phone plays the call waiting tone (single beep), displays a caller ID notification
and rolls the incoming call over to the other line.
To configure call waiting on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921, 6941, 6945, and 6961:
