Definition |
The ability to establish conference calls with 3 - 8 parties. |
Settings |
The number of permitted participants is set by the administrator. The conference warning tone can be turned on/off by the administrator. |
Procedure and function |
This type of conference call can either be set up by an extension or by the operator, provided the category of participants allows Conference calls. The participants can be an internal party, a private network party or an external party in any combination within the limitations stated above. An optional warning tone is issued to all participants at regular intervals during the call. Only the conference leader in an extension initiated conference can use the inquiry and refer back features, and receive indications that another call is waiting during the conference. The conference leader can, by using the inquiry and intrusion features on one of the participants, temporarily place both parties outside the conference. One or both can return to the conference depending on the procedure used by the conference leader. Display information indicating the number of conference participants, and the role (conference leader/member) is available for SIP terminals (if they support it). |
