your terminal is subscribed to two different conference sizes. both a
Conference key and a Large Conference key will have been
programmed. The specific number of parties you can add to each
size conference is determined by the service to which your terminal
is
SUbscribed. Consult the person responsible for installing and
setting
up
your terminal to obtain this information.
To activate the Conference feature, there already must be a call
active. Then. if you have the Large Conference feature available,
you must decide how many parties you are going to add
to
the call.
If
you will be adding no more than the maximum allowed by the
basic Conference feature, press the Conference key. If you will
need to add more parties than the basic Conference feature allows,
first press the Large Conference key. then press the Conference
key. The Status light associated with each conference key pressed
will light.
The Conference feature will then place the existing call on hold and
either select the next available line with the same
ON
as the
conference call
or
will prompt you to select the line on which to add
the conferee. You may select either an idle line, to dial a third
party, or a line that is on hold, to add a held party to the conference.
After you have made your call
to
the third party or connected the
held party, you are in a consultation call with only that party. The
original party is still on hold. The Status light associated with the
Conference key is flashing to indicate that the consultation call can
now be joined to Ihe original called party to form a conference.
To
do this, simply press the Conference key. All three parties will now
be joined
in
a conference call, and the Conference key Status light
will change to steady on.
To add another party to the conference, again press the
Conference key, or the Large Conference key and then the
Conference key, and repeat the procedures just described.
If
you
reach the maximum number of parties for your Conference feature,
you will be permitted to set up a consultation call, but the switching
system will not add the consultation call to the conference.
If
this
occurs, you must terminate
the
consultation call in order to return to
the conference call.
If
you wish, you may then drop one party from

the conference and repeat the preceding steps to reestablish the
consultation call and then add
it
to the conference.
Your Optiset terminal supports up to two simultaneous conferences.
If
an incoming call occurs while you have one conference active,
you may put the conference
on
hold and answer the incoming call.
Then, if you
Wish.
you may use the Conference key (and Large
Conference key,
if
necessary) to establish a second conference call
involving the new incoming call and yet another party. With two
conferences now operating on your terminal (one active and the
other
on
hold), you may toggle between the two conferences or
drop out of one and remain with the other.

Direct
Station
Select
Direct Station Select (DSS) is assigned to a feature key
in
support
of the ISDN Smart Attendant Services (ISAS) feature. Each DSS
key provides speed-dial access to another phone, as well
as
a
visual indication of the status of that phone through the associated
status light serving
as
a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) indicator.
Essentially, a DSS key is a Speed Dial feature key that has a
Feature
10
Number (FIN) assigned instead of a
ON.
The BLF indicator
is
used by an ISAS attendant to determine the
status of a specific terminal device. which may have multiple DNs
associated with
it.
The attendant uses the DSS key to place calls
to
the associated terminal device.
