Make a Conference
26
Start a Conference: If you started a Query and like to talk to both
call partners to simplify matters, you would be able to connect
both calls to a Conference (three-party Conference call).
Transfer: If you like to withdraw yourself from a self-initiated Con-
ference and like to give your call partners the opportunity of con-
tinuing their talk, you will be able to transfer them.
Finish completely: If you hang up the receiver during a Confer-
ence initiated by you, the call will completely be disconnected.
Back to the alternation: If you finish a conference and like to
return to the alternation again, you can directly reach the previ-
ously active call partner (top) or the previously call partner on hold
in the background (bottom) by dialling a digit sequence.
Note: Each of your call partners is able to finish his participation in
the Conference at any time by hanging up the receiver.
You cannot start a conference with a door terminal as call partner.
With ISDN telephones and the system telephone a “Confer-
ence“ is started with an existing function key or via menu
(e.g. with “conf“, “Conference“ or “3-party Conference“; see manual
of the telephone).
If you use an analog telephone as an internal subscriber
telephone where you can set the “starting of a three-party
Conference“ via T-Net function key/menu, you can also use this com-
fortable operation (see manual of the telephone).
Note: You do not need the support of the public exchange for a Con-
ference of two external call partners (telephone service “Three-party
Conference (3PTY)“) because the PBX supports Conferences via the
PBX (2nd call channel). That means, the PBX takes over the job from
the public exchange. For this function you need at least two external
voice channels.
A Conference is not possible with a door terminal.
If a handsfree operation telephone takes part in a three-party Confer-
ence internal subscribers, echo or whistle effects may occur.
Important: You can only connect an external call to another external
call partner in this way if the necessary authorization has been con-
figured (see
chapter View and modify the Properties of your own Sub-
).
