FEATURES AND SERVICES
Interactions
The following features interact with Conference.
Account Code Entry, Forced (FACE): Calls can be conference in both directions between a
FACE-restricted station and a non-FACE station.
Account Code Entry, Optional: If more than one user attempts to associate an account code
with a Conference Call, the first to activate the feature will prevail.
Attendant Message Waiting: Pressing the Attendant Message Waiting (ATT MSG) button
while on a conference call will be ignored.
Bridging of System Access Buttons:
A station user can make conference calls on Bridged
Access (BA) buttons using the normal conference feature operations. When a call is held for
conference by pressing the CONFERENCE button, an idle System Access (SA) button or an
idle SA-Originate Only button, if available, is automatically selected by the system for placing
the new call. If neither of these button types is idle, the user can manually select a BA
button or any other call appearance button on which to place the new call.
While a bridging station or principal is in the process of setting up a conference call, the
green status LED of the held call’s BA button or SA button has a broken flutter indication.
Other bridging or principal stations that are actively bridged to the call have steadily lighted
green status LEDs; stations that are not active on the call have winking status LEDs
(indicating that the appearance is on hold).
Callback Queuing: A queued call can be part of a conference, unless a Call Waiting call is
already part of the conference.
A queued call counts as two conferees until it is completed.
Call Waiting: A call receiving special ringback can be part of a conference, unless a queued
call is already part of the conference.
A waiting call counts as two conferees until it is
completed.
Display: Call descriptor “ ” appears in position 15 of Screen 1 for a call containing more
than two active parties; position 16 contains the actual number of conferees. The number of
conferees is displayed at each terminal in a conference call and is updated as the status
changes.

The “

” and the number of conferees overwrite whatever was in positions 15 and 16 of the
current display.
When a queued call is added to a conference, the associated displays are modified in only
one respect: the Q symbol appears as the first character of the queued call display. When
the queued facility becomes available and the call is made, “Q” is removed.
When a nondisplay station originates a trunk call, then conferences the call with an inside
display station and drops off, the display shows the trunk name only, not the originally-dialed
digits.
