■ If an analog single-line set has Call Wait active and creates a conference
call, Call Wait is rendered inactive as long as the single-line set is on the
call. For example, caller A on an analog set talks to caller B, flashes to talk
to caller C, and flashes to conference B and C. Then, if caller D calls caller
A, Call Wait is denied.
■ Users of DCP, Hybrid, and wireless phones can conference a call on hold.
If there is only one call on hold, no active call appearances, and an
available call appearance for the conference, a user can initiate the
conference process without taking the call out of hold. When the
Conference button is pressed, DEFINITY ECS assumes the conference is
for the call on hold, and the conference feature works as usual.
If there is more than one call on hold, the user must make a call active in
order to include it in a conference. If the user presses the Conference button
with two or more calls on hold, DEFINITY ECS will ignore the conference
attempt since it will not know which call the user wants to conference. If
there are calls on hold and an active call, pressing the Conference button
will start the conference process for the active call.
■ You can allow users to abort a conference operation that is in progress by
hanging up the phone. You set this parameter with the Abort Conference on
Hang-Up field on the Feature-Related System Parameters
screen. When a
user hangs up the phone while trying to conference a call, the existing call
is placed on hold, and the conference operation is aborted.
Interactions
■ Bridged Call Appearance
A bridged call appearance can be used to make conference calls. A bridged
appearance can bridge onto a conference call only if there were never 6
parties on the conference.
■ Call Vectoring
A call to a VDN can be included as a party in a conference call only after
vector processing terminates for that call (for example, after a successful
route-to command).
■ Class of Restriction
If the Restriction Override field is set to
all, the COR of the party being
added is always checked against the COR of the party controlling the
add-on, but the new party’s COR is not checked against any other
conferee’s CORs.
