Conference
Issue 5 October 2002 1649555-233-506
No Hold Conference
No Hold Conference allows a user that is actively on a call to call another party
and set up a conference call without interrupting the current call. The called party
is added to the conference call as soon as they answer. Once the conference call is
established, the call proceeds like a normal conference call. This feature can be
used on a multiple-line digital telephones.
Interactions
■ Bridged Call Appearance
A bridged call appearance can be used to make conference calls. A bridged
appearance can bridge onto a conference call only if there were never 6
parties on the conference.
■ Call Vectoring
A call to a VDN can be included as a party in a conference call only after
vector processing terminates for that call (for example, after a successful
route-to command).
■ Class of Restriction (COR)
If the Restriction Override field is set to
all, the COR of the party being
added is always checked against the COR of the party controlling the
add-on, but the new party’s COR is not checked against any other
conferee’s CORs.
■ Trunk-to-Trunk Transfer
When a multifunction telephone (BRI/Digital/Hybrid) dials sufficient
digits to route a call, but could route differently if additional digits were
dialed, the telephone does not recognize the Conference or Transfer
buttons. The user must delay dialing for 3 seconds or dial # to indicate that
the call can be routed based on the digits already dialed. The Conference or
Transfer buttons are then recognized and the switch completes the call.
■ VDN in a Coverage Path
Calls in an established conference will not cover to a VDN.
Once a call covers to a VDN, a conference cannot be established until the
call is delivered to an extension and vector processing ends.
