Extending Calls; Call - AT&T SYSTEM 25 User Manual

Extending Calls

Extending a call consists of putting an active call on
temporary hold (splitting), placing another call to an inside
party or an outside number, and then connecting the two
calls together. You can release from the calls or remain
connected. You will extend calls for the following reasons:
• A party on a trunk call wishes to be connected to a
station inside the system.
• A party inside your own system wishes to be
connected to an outside number via a trunk.
• A party inside your system wishes to be connected to
another inside station (an unusual procedure because
inside users can easily call each other directly).
The following procedures combine the basic steps for
answering and placing calls, described in other sections,
with some new steps.
Note: You do not need to press the <START> button
when extending a call from the Selector Console.
Extending a Call Without Announcing It to the Called
Party
1. Answer the call.
2. If you are extending to an inside party, use the
Selector Console to call the desired number or press
<START> and dial the call from the SLAC.
If you are extending an inside party to an outside
trunk, press <START> and dial the call from the SLAC.
