Bridging

DESCRIPTION

CONSIDERATIONS

If you share a line with another person, you can join (or "bridge" onto) a call in progress on that line. In this way you can easily join a conference call by just touching a line button and lifting your handset. (See "Conference.")

Up to three people connected to the MERLIN Plus system, including the originator of the call, can bridge onto a call at one time.

When a person bridges onto a call in progress, the red and green lights next to the line button on your voice terminal flash alternately so that you know that someone else has joined the call.

You cannot use the Bridging feature on a voice terminal with Button-Free Line Operation.

If the person has activated the Privacy feature on his or her voice terminal, you cannot bridge onto a call in progress at that voice terminal.
