Answering a MADN Call
Any incoming call to the shared line rings on all group members' phones simultaneously. The call is
displayed on all members' screens, and a green LED light flashes on the line's line key.
Any MADN member can respond to an incoming call to the shared line. When a MADN member answers
an incoming call, the LED indicator on the line key for all phones changes to a steady red light to indicate
the call was answered. Members can also view the status of a call on the shared line by pressing and
holding the corresponding line key for one second. The call's status and the Barge In soft key display for
five seconds.
If bridging is disabled and privacy is enabled for the shared line, you cannot barge in on active calls
answered by other MADN members.
Barge In on an Active Call
After a call is answered, any group member can barge in on the active call on a public shared line, which
becomes a bridge call—a call between two or more MADN members and another party.
Ask your system administrator about the maximum number of participants allowed on a bridge call.
Procedure
1. Press and hold the corresponding line key for the shared line for one second.
2. Select the Barge In soft key.
A bridge tone plays notifying the other call participants that you are barging in on the call.
Leave a Bridge Call
Any member in a bridge call can leave the call, and the call remains active.
After you leave a bridge call, you can rejoin by pressing the Barge In soft key again.
Procedure
» Select the End Call soft key, or place the handset in the cradle.
Your connection to the bridge call is ended, and the other call participants remain on the call.
Resume a Held MADN Call
Any MADN member can resume a held call on the shared line. When an active call is placed on hold on
the shared line, all group members are notified of the call's new status by a flashing red LED light on the
line key on all members' phones, if enabled by your system administrator.
When a held call is resumed by another MADN member, the other group members are notified of the
call's new status with a steady red LED light on the line key on the members' phone.
Procedure
» Do one of the following:
• Select the corresponding line key and lift the handset.
• Press and hold the corresponding line key and select Resume.
