Conference
If the user presses the Conf button while Inspect is activated, Inspect is
canceled and the system tries to activate the Conference feature.
When a user joins a conference by using a shared outside line or
Shared SA button, the QCC display reflects the correct number of
participants. However, if the QCC operator uses the Inspect feature to
verify the number of participants, the number shown on the display
does not include participants joining the conference on a shared button.
The Conference feature cannot be used on the MFM because the
system ignores the switchhook flash sent by the MFM.
If the first participant put on hold for a conference is an outside call, the
caller hears Music On Hold until the second participant is added. When
a conference originator puts the conference on hold, Music On Hold is
not activated.
Speakerphone and loudspeaker paging calls cannot be added to a
conference.
Conference calls cannot be parked.
A conference call cannot be picked up at another extension. A
conference originator can, however, pick up a call and add it to the
conference.
A single-line telephone user with a Recall or Flash button adds a
participant to a conference call and connects all participants by using
the Recall or Flash button. In addition, the Recall or Flash button can
be used to drop the most recently added participant or to drop a busy
number.
Signaling can be used during a conference.
When a conference call includes inside and outside participants,
records are generated only for outside participants. When a call is
dropped from a conference call, it is considered a completed call and
is sent to the SMDR print queue.
Press the Conf button to enter the Flash special character in a Personal
Speed Dial or System Speed Dial telephone number. Press the Drop
button to enter the Stop special character.
Calls on SA and ICOM buttons (including Shared SA buttons) can be
included in a conference call. If a user involved in a conference call on
an SA or ICOM button also has a Shared SA button for one of the
conference participants, the call is active at the SA or ICOM button and
not at the Shared SA button for the other participant.
