Conference, Supervised/Unsupervised !77

The system can accommodate eight, 4-member (party) conferences simultaneously. Conferences can include a maximum of 3 outside lines and any number of extensions to a maximum of 4 conference members. One inside key telephone station is the controller of the conference and constitutes one conference member. Before a conference can be established with 4 members, a 3-member conference must be established first.

Supervised/Unsupervised

A Supervised Conference is a conference in which at least one member is an extension of the DX-80 system. The DX-80 extension that establishes a conference is the conference controller and may add and/or delete members of the conference at any time. The conference controller also has the privilege of establishing an Unsupervised Conference.

An Unsupervised Conference is a conference in which only callers on outside lines are members. All members are therefore outside of the premises and connected together using the DX-80 conference resource. An unsupervised conference may be re-joined by the initiating DX-80 extension, however, since that extension maintains control of the conference even though it is unsupervised.
