Advanced Call Handling

Your phone system allows you to join three or more parties into one telephone con-

versation, creating a conference call. Conference calls in the system are managed

with a virtual "Conference Room" mode on the phone. When you enter conference

room mode, the phone's display will provide a scrollable list of parties currently in

the conference and provide soft keys to manage those connected parties as well as

managing the conference. Conference mode is automatically started on your phone

any time you send a party to the virtual conference room. The conference mode is

ended when you press [EndAll].

For further details related to conference calling, please see the following table:

If you want to...

With a call connected to your phone, press [Confrn].

You will enter Conference Mode with a conference of

two parties, you and the call you sent to the conference

room.

During the conference, press [NewCall]. Conference

mode will temporarily be suspended. Dial your new

[Confrn]. If you do not wish to add this call to the

conference, simply hang up and you will auto-return to

the conference.

Simply highlight the ringing call and press [Answer].

The conference will be suspended into the background.

You may then add the new call into the conference or

end the call. You will return to the conference room

automatically after either of these activities.

conversation. Highlight the party you wish to sidebar

and press [Consult]. Then you [Answer] this call again

and you are connected to that individual party. While

you are in a sidebar the conference call is still going on

in the background. If you are finished with this party

you may hang up or rejoin them to the conference call as

normal.

From the conference room screen, press [EndAll]. All

parties in the conference will be disconnected.
