Feature Tones
Introduction
This appendix explains special tones the BTS supports for subscriber and operator features.
The BTS supports these tones by sending MGCP messages to the gateways.

|
CHD |
STUTTER TONE |
For Centrex subscriber (controlling party) currently on an active call: The controlling party places the other party on hold by pressing the Flash button or switchhook, and hears the stutter tone. Controlling party has the following options: •Press Flash button or switchhook again to return to the original call. •Dial a designated vertical service code (VSC)—typically *52—hear the stutter tone again, then dial a third party. The first calling party is kept on hold. |
