telephones can join the conversation without needing to enter an entry code.
• Entry
codes can consist of the digits "0" through "9". When "
" is used for an entry code, no
one can join a conversation that is already in progress.
"
" must be used by itself (i.e., you
may not combine it with numeric digits). For details, refer to " Join After Time Out".
• With PTs and KX-TCA175/KX-TCA275/KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385 PSs, a
conference group call can be automatically answered without going off-hook. This mode is
selected through system programming.
• If the Hands-free Answerback feature is enabled, the called extension can answer the
conference group call without going off-hook. KX-UT series SIP phones do not support the
Hands-free Answerback feature for a conference group call.
• If using an SLT, SIP phone, or S-PS, the caller can only originate a conference group call
and cannot control the called parties’ call status manually.
