1.15 Conference Group Call Features
1.15.1 Conference Group Call
Description
Conference group calling allows you to call a pre-determined group (conference group) of parties
simultaneously. Each party that answers the call joins the conference.
A PT user can call a conference group of up to 7 parties to establish a conference call, for a maximum of 8
participants. During a conference group call, the caller can restrict the ability of other members to speak.
Broadcast Mode
When Broadcast
Mode is enabled through system programming, a PT user can call a conference group of up
to 31 call members to make a voice announcement. Members can listen to the announcement by answering
the call.
During the announcement, the voices of members will not be heard. However, the caller can allow up to 7
specific members to speak, making a conference call. This conversation can be heard by the other members.
Conference Group Call Control
During a conference group call, the caller can restrict or allow members’ ability to speak, and can remove
members from the call using the following buttons. These buttons will function irrelevant of the Conference
Group Call mode. Pressing the other buttons during the conversation will be ignored.
Note
The operation of these buttons during a conference group call is different from the operations for the
Conference feature (® 1.14.1 Conference Features).
