6 AltiServ User Guide
The user who first initiates the conference call can select another
conference member’s call and drop it from the conference simply by
disconnecting the call. If the conference initiator hangs up, this feature
becomes unavailable to all other conference members. This feature is not
supported when an analog phones is used. Single Call Waiting or Multiple
Call Waiting is required.
To conference an incoming call:
1. User hears call waiting tone.
1. Press FLASH to connect to the incoming call.
2. Press # to add callers to the conference.
This feature is supported on an analog phone ONLY, when the extension is
set to Multiple Call Waiting or when an IP phone or AltiView is used
jointly with an analog phone.
Conference Call Restrictions
There are some system technical restrictions on conference calls.
On each Quantum board, the extensions assigned to the board can be
involved in a maximum of 3 different conferences. For example, if
extensions 101–110 are all on the same board, 101, 105, and 107 could be
involved in one conference call, while 104 and 108 were on another, and
109 and 102 were on a third call.
Depending on the type of board, each Quantum board could run up to 4, 8,
or 12 extensions. There is no limit to conferencing extensions from the
same board.
For all conferences on a single board, the system allows up to 4 extensions
total from any of the other boards, in any combination, at any one time.
For example, if Conference #1 includes 4 extensions from other boards,
Conference #2 and #3 cannot have any. If Conference #1 includes only 2
extensions from other boards, 2 other extensions could be used by
Conference #2 or #3.
If these limits are reached, the system rejects attempts to conference
additional parties to the call.
