Multicast Paging
With the Multicast Paging feature, you can receive a page that will be automatically played on the
phone. If configured by the system administrator, you can send a multicast page to a group of
phones in the network.
An incoming multicast page is played on the phone speaker. When the page is played, the Phone
screen displays the Page from <group name> notification during the whole time of
transmission.
All configured multicast groups that you can send a page to are available in the Features menu.
You can add, move or delete the multicast page keys from the Phone screen by the common
customization procedure.
Active calls with a lower priority than the multicast page are put on hold, all lower-priority incoming
calls are ignored.
A multicast page is ignored if the agent is on an active call and has the Do Not Disturb status, or
making an emergency call.

No Hold Conference
With the No Hold Conference feature, you can add participants to your call while continuing your
active conversation. The No Hold Conference feature lets you create a conference call without
putting any call participant on hold.
For example, if you press the administered No Hold Conference button and then dial an
extension the participant that answers the call joins the no hold conference.
Using the No Hold Conference button you can add more participants to the no hold conference.
The administrator can pre-configure only one number on System Manager. When you press the
No Hold Conference button, the call is placed to the pre-configured number when the participant
answers the call joins the no hold conference.
If the participants do not answer the call within the configured time-out duration Avaya J100 Series
IP Phones will display the appropriate message on the phone screen.
