Conference calls can be originated from a Cover button only when the user with
a caller on the Cover button presses the Transfer button, dials the number for
another person, and then presses Conference to complete the transfer. In this
case only, instead of the call being transferred, a conference call with three
participants (including the originator) is established.
The Extension, Personal, and System Directory features can be used to set up
conference calls. The Conference button is pressed to enter the Flash special
character in a directory listing telephone number. The Drop button is pressed to
enter the Stop special character.
A user cannot add outside people to a conference when the number is on a
Disallowed List assigned to the telephone. However, if the conference originator
with an outside caller presses the Conference button, selects an outside line,
and presses Conference again before dialing a number, the outside caller can
dial a toll call, thereby overriding calling restrictions assigned to the conference
originator's telephone. The toll call is billed to the conference originator's
company.
As with any other call, the dialed digits appear on line 1 of the display as a user
sets up a conference call. On MLX telephones, line 1 of the display shows the
number of conference participants. In addition, the MLX telephone display
prompts the user each time the Conference button is pressed (the prompt
disappears when the user selects the line). The display also prompts the user to
drop a conference participant after the Drop button is pressed and then shows
the updated conference information on line 1 and which line or extension was
dropped on line 2.
A separate account code must be entered for each outside call added to the
conference.
When calls received on a personal line are forwarded to an outside telephone
number and another user who shares the personal line and the line/trunk
selected to forward the call joins the in-progress call (by pressing the Personal
Line button), the person joining the call is considered the conference originator
and the forwarded call can be conference. If the person who joined the call
hangs up, all participants on the conference call are disconnected.
Calls waiting in the calling group queue or ringing at a calling group member's
station cannot be added to a conference call. A user must be connected to a
calling group member before the call can be added to the conference
Headset Auto Answer is disabled and must be activated manually while an MLX
telephone user with a headset is setting up a conference.
