1.7.3 Making a Conference Group Call
You can call multiple parties, assigned as members of a group (conference group), and establish a multiple
party
conversation with the called parties. You can make a conference group call to both extensions and outside
lines (including analogue lines). The following two modes are available:
• Conference Mode: the called parties can join the conversation automatically. (
Conference Mode)
• Broadcast Mode: the called parties can hear the caller’s voice announcement, and then be allowed to
join the conversation by the caller.
(
Broadcast Mode)
• If you dial a conference group number that is in use for another conversation, you will hear
a busy tone and cannot establish a multiple party conversation.
• If you fail to seize idle outside lines necessary for all members assigned in the conference
group, you will hear a reorder tone and cannot make a conference group call.
• When making a conference group call to an outside party, the CLIP number for that call will
be the one you select for making calls to an outside line. Refer to
"1.9.4 Displaying Your
Telephone Number on the Called Party and Caller
’s Telephone (Calling/Connected Line
Identification Presentation [CLIP/COLP])".
Conference Mode
If this mode is selected through system programming, the called parties can join the conversation simply by
going off-hook. The caller can end the conversation with a specific party manually.
