Answer a Call

There are three types of Ad-hoc conference:

1Consultative conference—The conference creator commits after consultative party has been connected.

2Early conference—The conference creator commits while consultative party is ringing.

3Connected conference—The conference creator joins two pre-existing active calls.

If there are only two parties remaining in an ad-hoc conference, and if the conference is configured to stay, it will fall back to a point-to-point call and the conference bridge resource will be released.

Note Consultative conference is the only one supported in this release.

Busy Lamp Field

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) allows configuring a directory number that a user can monitor for incoming calls. When the directory number receives an incoming call, the system alerts the monitoring user, who can then pick up the call.

cBarge

The cBarge feature allows you to create a standard (ad hoc) conference by adding yourself to a call on a shared line.
