Adding Voice Mail to a Conference
The Conference Master can add voice mail to a conference. This feature enables
participants in a conference to listen to or leave a voice mail message during one
telephone call.
To add Voice Mail to a conference call (performed by Conference Master)
1. Press Cnf/Trn to place the current call on Consultation Hold.
2. Dial the voice mail (VM) extension number, then enter the VM mailbox and
security code. This adds the voice mailbox to the conference.
3. Press Cnf/Trn to reconnect to the original party. (You can continue to add
conference members by pressing Cnf/Trn and dialing another extension.)
Now, all parties in the conference can listen to or record a message to this voice
mailbox. Only the Master can control the VM with touchtones or Soft Keys.
Connecting Two Outside Lines

LED flashes (conference rate).
2. Dial an outside line access code and outside telephone number.
3. After the party answers, press Cnf/Trn. The extension LED flashes (in-use rate)
and all parties are conferenced.
If you receive a busy tone or if the station does not answer, press the flashing
extension button to return to the original connection, press Cnf/Trn.
4. Hang up. The extension LED flashes (exclusive-hold rate) and the two lines are
connected. The LED turns Off when the parties hang-up.
5. To supervise a tandem call, press the extension button. If the parties have finished,
hang up...or if the parties are still talking, press Cnf/Trn and hang-up. Both Line
LEDs turn Off and the connection is released.
If your telephone company provides auto disconnect, the connection may release
automatically when the parties hang up. If not, the lines must be supervised to be
disconnected.
