When you programme a key with the line pool feature code, you
must enter a line pool access code after the feature code. The
programmed line pool key accesses a specific line pool, not the
line pool feature. See 'Using line pools' on page 258 for more
information.
If you programme a key with an indicator to access a line pool
when all the lines in a line pool are busy, the indicator for the line
pool key turns on. The indicator turns off when a line becomes
available.
Note that ISDN terminals do not have line keys or intercom keys
as do Norstar/BST telephones. To make an outgoing call from an
ISDN terminal, access an exchange line by entering a line pool
code or a destination code.
You can share a call with two other people (internal or external)
by forming a conference. Once a conference is established, any
one of the parties can hang up, leaving the other two connected,
unless the two other parties are on exchange lines. In this case, if
the person who created the conference hangs up, the other two
parties may be disconnected, or they may remain connected
depending on the equipment in use.Your system may be
programmed to prevent connections between one exchange line
and another.
To establish a conference call with two other Norstar/BST
telephones, a telephone must have two intercom keys assigned to
it. The keys appear starting at the lowest right-hand position, or
one key above that if the Handsfree feature is assigned to the
telephone.
The M7100N/T7100 and M7000/T7000 telephones do not have
keys for intercom key assignment.
1. Make or answer the call with the first party.
2. Place that call on hold.
3. Make the call to the second party.
4. Press ≤‹.
5. Take the held call off hold. This is automatic on the
M7100N/T7100 and M7000/T7000 telephones.
