840 Matrix PRASAR UCS System Manual
Emergency Conference
What’s this?
Emergency Conference enables you to establish a Conference between a pre-defined group of extensions using a
feature access code.
This feature can be used to call and consult with a group of people in emergency situations.
The number of parties that can be included in an Emergency Conference group depends on the Multiparty
Conference capacity of the PRASAR UCS. For details, see “Conference-Multiparty”.
How it works
For this feature to work, you must do the following:
• First decide the key persons in the organization who should be parties to the Emergency Conference.
• Form a Department Group with the extensions of these key persons as members. A single Department
Group can have up to 32 extensions. For more information on forming Department Groups, see the topic
“Department Call”.
For example, you have formed a Department Group for Emergency Conference, with the extensions A to G as
members. The Access Code assigned to the Department Group is 3901. H is the initiator of the conference as
Emergency Conference is enabled in the Class of Service assigned to his/her extension.
Another Emergency Conference is formed with Department Group 3902, having extensions J to P as members and
J as the initiator of the Conference as Emergency Conference is enabled in the Class of Service assigned to his/her
extension.
Now, extension H wants to initiate an Emergency Conference.
This is how the feature will work:
Initiating an Emergency Conference
• H dials the feature access code for Emergency Conference, followed by access code of the Department
Group (3901).
• All extensions in the Department Group (extensions A to G) which are free will start ringing. The system
will play Emergency Conference ring (default: Triple Ring) on the Extensions. Extensions that are busy will
not be included in the call.
If there are Extended IP Phone extensions in the group, and these phones have a Call Appearance free,
the system will ring these extensions on the free Call Appearance, but will not wait for the extensions to
become free.
