Is there a way for a digital phone to hit the Park key and have the display show the next park orbit. User then can hit the park button and enter the orbit. We picked up a customer that has 4 park buttons on their phones as a way to get around the auto park orbit assign. I know other manufactures systems do this. Any advice

The 1100 has auto park, hit Park key, display shows where it was parked. Only need 1 park key.

Seems like no way the 8100 would not have this, sucks without.

It disabled at default on the 1100.

I am not sure of your question. The way we do PARK on the SV8100 is to program a DSS key with #6*(pound,six,star)and label it "Park". When a user wants to park a call they press HOLD + "Park". The call is parked and the orbit (eg. 01) is displayed. Our "Retrieve" key is a DSS with *6 (star, six) programmed in it. To retrieve they press the "Retrieve" key and the two digit orbit number (eg. 01) and TahDaH!

Stupid question, why wouldn't you want the park keys lit up for retrieval? I mean 2-4 park keys will normally handle a TON of call volume.

Not a stupid question. We have just always done it differently. Good to know that others use *04 successfully. I tested it and do like the idea. It is a little simpler for the user cause even the phone man (me) sometimes forgets to press HOLD prior to the Park (#6*) key. Thanks for the idea.

You don't need to press hold to park a call with the *04. You just press the open key. Call parked.
