Group Call-out Smart Retry – When the chairperson makes a group
call-out to the same group for the second time, the system repeats the
call-out only to numbers that are not connected in the conference. The
second call-out includes calls to the following:
•
•
The Group Call-out Smart Retry feature minimizes port usage during
group calls.
Lock or unlock the conference
The chairperson can lock the conference to prevent any new conferees
from joining by dialing *4. The chairperson can unlock the conference
allowing new conferees to join by dialing *4 again. A caller trying to join
a locked conference hears an announcement indicating that the
conference is locked. The system then disconnects the call. The
chairperson can dial-out and include a conferee when the conference
is locked.
Because there is one command for lock and unlock, the system
announces to the chairperson one of two possible voice messages:
"Meeting is locked" or "Meeting is unlocked." Only the chairperson that
activates the command hears the lock/unlock announcement.
Count conferees
The chairperson can count the number of conferees that have joined a
conference by dialing *69 (for announcing to the chairperson only), or
*60 (for announcing to the whole conference). The MICB card issues a
string of voice prompts, one for each conferee in the conference, that
only the chairperson hears. If a new conferee joins the conference after
the chairperson activates the command, the MICB card does not count
that new conferee. If the system drops a conferee after the "count the
conferees" or "play list" command, they are counted, but not named.
When the chairperson dials *69/*60, the conferees hear a quiet click.
