Leaving a Conference 3
The conference originator can leave the conference by pressing the Hold button
(the conference continues). If a conference originator (excluding a QCC operator)
leaves a conference by either hanging up or selecting another line, the entire
conference is disconnected.
Considerations and Constraints 3
Transmission quality may vary during the conferencing of outside lines.
A call to a busy number cannot be added to a conference.
Pressing the Drop button and the line button for a participant also disconnects a
participant who joined the conference by using a shared personal line or an SA or
ICOM button.
When a conference originator puts the conference on hold, Music On Hold is not
activated.
In Release 1.1 and later systems, the system automatically selects an SA or
ICOM button when a user presses the Conf button. In Release 1.0 systems, the
system does not automatically select an SA or ICOM button; the user must select
the line manually.
Beginning with Release 1.1, pressing the Conf button causes one of the following
to happen:
â– If the system is in Hybrid/PBX mode and the user has available SA
buttons, the system automatically selects one, in the following order:
1. SA Originate Only (Ring)
2. SA Originate Only (Voice)
3. SA Ring
4. SA Voice
â– If the system is not in Hybrid/PBX mode or a user has no available SA
button, the prompt
6HOHFWD/LQHappears on Line 2 of the display on an
MLX display telephone.
After the system selects an SA button or the originator selects a line, Line 2
displays the prompt
'LDO. The originator can either dial a number or select
another line. Line 1 shows call-handling information, such as dialed digits, while
Line 2 is unchanged. The originator should then press Conf to connect all parties.
The prompt on Line 2 is replaced by the date and time. Line 1 displays the number
of parties in the conference.
