Conference Calls

The BluStar 8000i supports multi-way conferencing in BAS mode. The following two types of conference calls can be initi-
ated by a BluStar 8000i:
– Consultation hold
– Saved conferences
When you initiate a conference call, your terminal becomes the "host" of that conference. The conference host is responsi-
ble for all coordination between conference participants.
Note:
The conference host should not choose to Logoff and Restart or Logoff and Shutdown via the Logoff button until all
parties of the conference call have been disconnected. If the conference host terminal shuts down or is disconnected,
then the remaining conference participants cannot make any changes to the conference other than to hang up. They
can, however, see and hear each other until they hang up.

Consultation Hold Conference Calls

Consultation hold conference calling allows you to converse privately with a new party before adding that party to the
conference call.
