Parking Lot


Parking Lot allows you to put a call on hold on its own extension.
You can pick these calls back up from any extension by dialing the extension the call is parked on.
The User Portal has a parked call module to show/manage parked calls.

To access the Parking Lot page, do the following:

  1. Login to your PBX Admin Portal.
    • i.e. customer.freevociepbx.com/maint
      (replace customer with your system's actual subdomain)
  2. Go to PBX > PBX Setup > Parking Lot.
