Conference
What’s this?
The PROTON 206/308 offers the facility of 3-party conference. 3-Party conference can be conducted at a spur
of the moment without much prior planning. If a user is talking to some one and he feels he should include a third
person in his present talk and have a conference, he can do so without disconnecting his present talk. All he has
to do is to hold present person, dial the third person and then dial conference code.
Following three combinations are allowed in 3-party conference
• All three stations
• Two stations and one trunk
• One station and two trunks
How to use it?

Continued Dialing
What’s this?
Modern trunk exchanges support many advanced features like Call waiting, Call Forward, etc. This requires
dialing of codes during speech. The dialing of codes does not create problem when you are dialing on the trunk
directly, but the PBX between you and the TELCO exchange, the TELCO codes clash with the PBX codes. This
leads to difficulty in accessing TELCO features while in speech. However, Matrix supports access to all codes
from any station. In essence, you have to inform the PBX that you need to dial some code on the trunk. Dialing
Flash-# precisely does this. Once this code is dialed, you can dial any code within 10 seconds.
