5-52 MERLIN Plus System Features
When you want people outside the MERLIN Plus system to join a call in
progress, you can use the Conference feature. You can set up a conference call
that includes up to two people from outside the MERLIN Plus system, up to two
people within the system, and yourself, a total of five people.
People connected to the MERLIN Plus system can bridge onto an outside line
that is active on the conference call unless one of the participants has activated
the Privacy feature. However, when the maximum configuration of three people
within the system and two from outside is reached, attempts to add more people
will be denied.
Use the Drop button followed by touching the appropriate line button when you
want to selectively disconnect one outside line at a time from a conference call.
(See "Drop.") If you press the switchhook, you may end the conference call.
You cannot use the Conference feature for outside lines on a voice terminal with
Button-Free Line Operation.
If you attempt to add to a conference call a voice terminal that is busy on an
another call, you will hear busy tones, and the call is automatically dropped in
15 seconds. If the voice terminal dots not answer, you can drop the call by
touching Drop without disconnecting the person who is already apart of the
conference.
