Meridian Mail Conference Control
Three- and six-party conference allows 2500 telephones to disconnect from
Meridian Mail by dial access during a conference call.
A 2500 telephone on an established call flashes the switchhook to place the
existing call on Consultation Hold. After receiving special dial tone, the user
dials the third party. If the third party does not answer, the call is forwarded
to Meridian Mail. If the 2500 telephone flashes the switchhook again, a
three-party conference is established, including Meridian Mail. If the user
does not flash the switchhook at this time, Privacy is in effect and the user can
disconnect from Meridian Mail by dial access before returning to the original
call. This can be done if the user is in conference or on a simple two-party call.
To disconnect from Meridian Mail, press octothorpe (#) to stop the recorded
greeting, octothorpe (#) to stop recording your message, and 83 to disconnect.
To disconnect from any other message system connected to Meridian 1, press
3 to stop the recorded message and the asterisk (*) to disconnect.
Meridian 911
When a call is answered, and then conferenced, the trunk priority is lost (the
conference consultation call is an internal call and treated as low priority by
the software). This operation is the same for normal calls and 911 calls.
Meridian 911 - Call Abandon
M911 abandoned calls cannot be conferenced.
Message Registration
The party that originates a call is charged. The charge cannot be moved to
another party using Conference.
Multi-Party Operations
Current Conference feature for analog (500/2500 type) telephones with C6A
is not affected by conference with TSA Class of Service.
Multi-Party Operations – Call Join
The Call Join feature allows a user of a Meridian 1, Meridian 1000 series, or
digital telephone to conference in or transfer a third party to a party held on
the user’s telephone, without having to dial the third party. The user can then
hang up.
