PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use
Considerations
You cannot join a call by pressing a pool button.
You cannot join an intercom call or a conference call at another extension.
You cannot join a call on an extension that has a Voice Interrupt On Busy call in progress.
You can join a call that is being answered by the voice messaging system, but only if
Automatic Extension Privacy is Not Assigned for the extensions associated with the voice
messaging system hardware. If this is the case, when you join the call, the voice messaging
system disconnects automatically so you can speak to the caller.
You cannot put a joined call on hold.
You can tell when someone has joined a call of yours when the lights next to the line or pool
button change to alternately flashing red and green.
If a system telephone joins a call on a single-line telephone, there is a momentary "break" in
the call on the single-line telephone.
You can use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other extensions from joining
calls on a specific extension. This is especially useful for answering machines, fax machines,
modems, and credit card scanners, because trying to join one of these devices can interfere
with its operation.
You can program Privacy (F07) onto a system telephone button to allow or prevent others
from joining your calls.
Caller ID information is displayed if you join a call; however, you cannot join a call at any
extension that has Privacy (F07) activated.
If a line is not assigned to your extension and access to that line is not restricted for that
extension, you can use Direct Line Pickup—Active Line (I68LL) to join a call on that line.
You can join a call answered by Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial by
pressing the line button and lifting the handset. The message stops playing when you join the
call.
Pooled extension users can add other parties to a call by pressing pool buttons.
Joining a Call on a System Telephone
A steady red light next to a line button indicates a call is in progress at another extension. To join a
call by using a system telephone, do one of the following:
Press the line button next to the steady red light and lift the handset.
Lift the handset and press
The red and green lights alternately flash. You are now joined with the call.
