Orbit Queues

Requirements: You need the Orbit Queue Security right to display the Orbit Queue view.

An orbit queue is a list of all calls parked to specific numbered orbits. This feature is especially helpful for Public Announcement system operators who can park a call in Orbit, then page the recipient and relay that he or she has a call on a specific Orbit number. For example, the operator could announce: “John Smith, you have a call on Orbit 12”, thus enabling John Smith to move to any station and pick up the call.

When you park a currently active call in a specific orbit it removes the call from your station. This enables you to pick up the call from another station and resume the call without having to transfer it to a specific extension.

Note: In order to pick up a call from orbit from a queue view, you must display the Orbit Queue view. Alternatively, you can use a Polycom phone configured as a SIP station to pick up a call from an orbit. For more information, see Pick Up a Call from an Orbit.
