Instruction manual

Conference
Exclusion: Exclusion may be invoked before establishing a conference. If it is invoked after the
conference is established, all internal conferees will be dropped (except for the party that invoked
Exclusion).
Extended Stations: An Extended Station counts as one of the two allowable outside lines on a
conference call.
Forwarding: If one of the called parties for a conference is a forwarding station, its forwarded-to
station will be the conference facility.
If a conference call is transferred to a forwarding station, it will be given normal Forwarding
treatment.
Music-On-Hold: Music-On-Hold may be enabled or disabled for “Special Hold” through a System
Administration item. However, if the outside line is already part of a conference, music is not heard.
Off-Premises Stations (OPS): For conference purposes, an OPS counts as one of the two
allowable outside lines.
Paging System Access: A paging zone may not be conferenced.
Park: Park may be used to place a conference on hold. Parked conference calls do not return to the
parking station (they remain parked).
If a 5-person conference is parked, the conferee who parked the conference will be dropped when
someone picks up the parked conference.
Remote Access: Remote Access callers cannot use the Conference feature.
Trunk-To-Trunk Transfer: Trunk-to-trunk transfers may be set up using the Conference feature.
The conference must include an incoming trunk call on either a ground start, loop start (if trunk-to-
trunk transfer is allowed by System Administration), DID, or tie trunk if it is to continue after all inside
stations have dropped off.
Public Station: If a PUBLIC Station, a toll class 5 station, creates a conference, the Class 5
restriction level of this station applies. If a non-PUBLIC station creates a conference call with a trunk
in the call and drops off before dialing the outside number, the restriction level will become 5 if the
only remaining station(s) is a PUBLIC station. This also applies for bridging of System Access and
Personal Line Buttons.
