Group Call-out Smart Retry – When the chairperson makes a group call-out to the same group for the second time, the system repeats the call-out only to numbers that are not connected in the conference. The second call-out includes calls to the following:

numbers not successfully connected in the previous group call-out

numbers that were connected, but then disconnected

The Group Call-out Smart Retry feature minimizes port usage during group calls.

Lock or unlock the conference

The chairperson can lock the conference to prevent any new conferees from joining by dialing *4. The chairperson can unlock the conference allowing new conferees to join by dialing *4 again. A caller trying to join a locked conference hears an announcement indicating that the conference is locked. The system then disconnects the call. The chairperson can dial-out and include a conferee when the conference is locked.

Because there is one command for lock and unlock, the system announces to the chairperson one of two possible voice messages: “Meeting is locked” or “Meeting is unlocked.” Only the chairperson that activates the command hears the lock/unlock announcement.

Count conferees

The chairperson can count the number of conferees that have joined a conference by dialing *69 (for announcing to the chairperson only), or *60 (for announcing to the whole conference). The ICB card issues a string of voice prompts, one for each conferee in the conference, that only the chairperson hears. If a new conferee joins the conference after the chairperson activates the command, the ICB card does not count that new conferee. If the system drops a conferee after the “count the conferees” or “play list” command, they are counted, but not named.

When the chairperson dials *69/*60, the conferees hear a quiet click.

Table 35 on page 143 lists the TUI subcommands available to the chairperson when counting conferees.
