 Arguably, this is the feature that makes a business phone system powerful. Ring-U automatically configures "soft" and physical key functionality on all Grandstream phones that support it (GRP2135, GRP2170, GXP2614, GXP2616) HTEK, Polycom VVX600, and Atcom phones with a layout similar to the one in the picture.

+===Park 600===
-Will park a call in a parking slot, so that it can be picked up by other phones (or the same one). While on a call, press **Park**.  you will notice **Slot 1** or **Slot 2** turns red.. That call is parked in that slot. It can be answered from any other phone by pressing the red button.
+Parking a call in a parking slot allows it to be picked up by any phone on your system, including the one which parked it.\\

-==Slot 1 / 2 / 3...==
+===Slot 1 / 2 / 3...===
-Ring-U typically configures 2 slots to display, there are 9 available. Each slot is essentially a "line" that a call can be placed on hold for some other phone to pick up. Place a call into the slot by parking it (see above), pick up that call by pressing the slot button that is red/occupied. A phone without keys can pick up a call by dialing the slot number. Example: The receptionist yells "Steve is on 602", using a phone without keys, simply dial 602 to pick up the call.

-==Extensions list==
+===Extensions List===
-Following the standard park/slot functions, the system will have a list of extensions and display if that extension is available or in use. In the example, the Lab extension is red because a person is using that phone. On some phones, you can one button transfer an active call just by pressing the extension. On others you press the **transfer** button (typically an arrow pictoglyph) and then the extension to transfer to.
+Following the standard Park/Parking Slot BLF's, the display will list your other extensions, as well as their status (Green for available, Red for in use). In the photo above, the Lab extension is red because it is currently in use.\\
