2.23.3 Unsupervised Conference
Description
An iPECS phone user may establish a conference with external parties and exit the conference while
allowing the external parties to converse privately without supervision from the user.
The system will disconnect the Unsupervised conference if disconnect is detected with only two
parties connected or at expiration of the Unsupervised Conference timer. Fifteen seconds prior to
expiration of the timer, a Disconnect Warning Tone is provided.
If enabled, either party in an Unsupervised Conference can request the Unsupervised Conference
timer be extended. The party enters the Timer Extension feature code and a digit 1 to 9 indicating
the Timer extension multiplier. The system will then extend the timer based on the dialed digit
multiple of the Timer. For example, if the Unsupervised Conference timer is 5 minutes and the user
dials the digit 4, the timer will extend to 20 minutes (4 multiplied by 5 minutes).
