Meet Me Paging
Meet Me Paging lets an extension user set up a two-party meeting via Paging.
Multiple Directory Numbers/Call Coverage
Multiple Directory Number (virtual extension) keys do not support Conference Programmable
Function keys nor can they be used to add a call to a Conference.
Programmable Function Keys
In order for keyset to have Conference, it must have a Conference function key.
Tandem Trunking
A user can set up an Unsupervised Trunk-to-Trunk Conference and then drop out of the call,
allowing the remaining parties to continue the conversation.
Transfer
You can optionally program the CONF (TRF) key for Transfer. In this case, the keyset must
have a Conference function key. The system also allows a call to be transferred into a Confer-
ence call.

Keyset
1. Establish Intercom or trunk call.
2. Press CONF or Conference key (PGM 15-07 or SC 851: 07).

To get the outside call, you can either press a line key or dial a trunk/trunk group code.
You can optionally go back to step 2 to add more parties to your Conference.

With a Super Display keyset, the trunk name (for outgoing calls) or Caller ID (for
incoming calls, if available) will be displayed in the one-touch key display area for up to
10 calls.
If the call being added is busy/unanswered:
With an outside call and line keys: Press the line key for a call previously added to the
Conference. The unanswered call will drop and the initiator will be back into the Confer-
ence call.
With an outside call and loop keys: Press the loop key for a call previously added to the
Conference. Press CONF twice to re-establish the Conference call. The unwanted call is
dropped.
Adding an Intercom call to an outside Conference call: Press the CNCL soft key on the
display keyset then press the ANHD soft key or the CONF key to re-establish the Confer-
ence. If using a non-display phone, press the CONF key twice.
With only Intercom calls in the Conference: Press the CONF key to re-establish the Con-
ference. If the voice mail answers, there is no way to drop that extension out. You will need
to drop the Conference call.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to add more parties.
