Conference calls can be originated from a Cover button only
when the user with a caller on the Cover button presses the
Transfer button, dials the number for another person, and then
presses the Conference button to complete the transfer. In this
case only, instead of the call being transferred, a conference
call with three participants (including the originator) is
established.
The Extension, Personal, and System Directory features can be
used to set up conference calls. Press the Conference button
to enter the Flash special character in a directory listing
telephone number. Press the Drop button to enter the Stop
special character.
A user cannot add an outside number to a conference if the
number is on a Disallowed List assigned to the telephone.
As with any other call, the dialed digits appear on Line 1 of the
display as a user sets up a conference call. On MLX
telephones, Line 1 of the display shows the number of
conference participants., In addition, the MLX telephone display
prompts the user each time the Conference button is pressed.
The display also prompts the user to drop a conference
participant after the Drop button is pressed, and then shows the
updated conference information on Line 1 and which line or
extension was dropped on Line 2.
Beginning with Release 1.1, if the system is not in Hybrid/PBX
mode or the user has no available SA or ICOM button the
prompt Select a Line appears on Line 2 of the display.
After the system selects an SA or ICOM button line, Line 2
displays the prompt Dial, then Press
CONF. After the user
dials a number or selects another line, the prompt on Line 1 is
changed to show call handling information, such as dialed
digits. When the user presses the Conference button again to
connect all parties, the prompt on Line 2 is replaced by the date
and time, while Line 1 displays the number of parties active on
the call.
A separate account code must be entered for each outside call
added to the conference.
When calls received on a Personal Line are forwarded to an
outside telephone number and another user who shares the
Personal Line and the trunk selected to forward the call joins the
in-progress call (by pressing the Personal Line button), the
person joining the call is considered the conference originator
and the forwarded call can be conference. If the person who
joined the call hangs up, all participants on the conference call
are disconnected.
