Conference Calls
AltiConsole can provide for a connection of up to six parties into a
conference call.
While you are participating in a conference call, you cannot handle other
incoming calls. You cannot mix AltiConsole conferencing with phone set
conferencing in the same conference session.
To setup a conference call:
While connected to the first conference participant other than yourself:
1.
Click the Conference button or press Alt+c to call the second party.
2.
Select the second party’s extension number from the BLF/ALL/
SPEED tab or enter the extension number using the Dial Pad.
To add an outside caller to the conference call, enter the full phone
number, including trunk access code and area code, if necessary, using
the Dial Pad.
3.
Click Dial or press Enter on the keyboard.
Note: You can also add a party to the conference by double-clicking
its extension in the BLF/ALL/SPEED tab. You don’t need
Steps 2 and 3.
4.
After connecting with the second party and announcing the conference
call, click the Conference button or press Alt+c to add the call to the
conference.
If the party does not want to join the conference call or is not available,
click the Roll Back button or press the Alt+r to cancel the operation
and to the conference call.
5.
Repeat the above steps for each party you want to add.
Overhead Paging
If your AltiServ is setup with an overhead paging system, you can connect
to it by clicking the Overhead Paging button. If your system is not setup
with this function, the Overhead Paging button is dimmed.
You cannot answer a call while engaged in an overhead page, nor can you
place the overhead page session on hold.
Also, you cannot use overhead page during a conference call or during a
supervised transfer.
