Conference Calls
Conference Calls
You can conference together up to eight parties (including yourself) - with up to six parties being external network lines. The actual number of conference parties with acceptable volume levels depends on the local and far end telephone line conditions.
The person who initiates the conference call is the Master. If, after the conference is established, the Master exits the conference, and the first station to have been added to the conference becomes the Master.
➤To conference calls
1.While on a call, press &QI7UQ. You hear dial tone. The DKT3001 Line LED flashes.
2.Call another station or outside line.
3.When the called party answers, press &QI7UQ. If you receive a busy tone or no answer, press &QI7UQ again to return to the original connection.
4.All parties are conferenced.
5.Repeat the above steps to add lines to the conference. Keep in mind the maximum number of allowed conference parties.
Note When the “master” of the conference hangs up, control is automatically transferred to the first internal station added to the conference call. If no other internal stations are included in the conference call, the call will be disconnected.
➤To transfer conference control
1.Do Steps 1 and 2 above to add the line you wish to transfer conference control to. See previous Note.
2.Announce the call and hang up to transfer the call. This station now becomes the conference “master” with the ability to add or delete parties.
➤To hold a conference call
➤ If you are the Conference Master, press the +ROG key once (or twice for Executive Hold) to place the conference call on hold. The other parties can continue with the conference.
You may rejoin the conference at any time by pressing your line appearance. When you return, you retain Master status.
