Features
CAUTION:
If the system selects a Voice button, the caller hears a
beep instead of ringing. If a person does not answer at
the destination extension and the originator completes
the conference, the conversation of the other parties will
be broadcast on that extension’s speaker. The
originator must be sure to Drop the unanswered
destination extension on a Voice button to prevent this
from happening
■ If the system is not in Hybrid/PBX mode or the user has no available SA
button, the prompt Select a Line appears on Line 2 of the display on
an MLX display telephone.
After the system selects a System Access button or the user selects a line,
Line 2 displays the prompt Dial,
then Press CONF. The user can dial a
number or select another line. Line 1 shows call handling information, such as
dialed digits, while Line 2 is unchanged. When the user presses the
Conference button again to connect all parties, the prompt on Line 2 is
replaced by the date and time. Line 1 displays the number of parties on the
conference.
If the conference originator presses the Conference button, selects a line
button, dials a number, and presses the Conference button again before the
person being called answers, all conference participants hear ringback, which
may cause voices to cut in and out.
If the conference originator calls a co-worker and presses the Conference
button and the co-worker, while on hold for the conference, presses a Hold,
Conference, or Transfer button, the call is disconnected.
If a conference participant (excluding the originator) who is included on a
conference call on an SA or ICOM button leaves the conference temporarily by
putting the call on hold and then rejoins the conference on a shared outside line
or Shared SA button, the person is connected to the conference. However, the
original conference call appearance on the SA or ICOM button is
disconnected.
Mode Differences
Behind Switch Mode
The fixed CONF button on multiline telephones activates Conference from the
host system. The dial codes for the host system for Conference and Drop must
be system programmed. A multiline telephone user can program a CONF or
Drop button to use the communication system’s Conference or Drop features as
described above.
