Telephone Features: Conferencing
9.28.1 Conference Phones
The system does not restrict the type of phone that can be included in a conference call.
· Use Mute
When not speaking, use of the mute function helps prevent background noise from your location being added to
the conference call. This is especially important if you are attempting to participate handsfree.
· Handsfree Participation
While many Avaya telephones can be used fully handsfree during a call, that mode of operation is intended only
for a single user, seated directly in front of the phone. Attempting to use a handsfree phones for multiple people
to listen to and participate in a call will rarely yield good results. See below for details of conference phones
supported by the system.
Group Listen
The Group Listen function can be used via a programmable button or short code . It allows the caller to be heard
through a phones handsfree speaker while only being talked to via the phone's handset.
