Once Mute is enabled (before or during the conference call), anyone joining the
active conference will be muted as soon as they are connected to the conference
call. Callers joining the conference when mute is in effect hear an announcement
that the conference is muted after the announcement that the conference is active.
Members of the conference will hear the join tone and the caller’s name.
Locking a Conference Call
Locking a meet-me conference prevents additional callers from joining the
conference. Unlocking the conference allows additional callers to join the
conference.
The Lock function is toggled from the keypad by pressing
*4
to enable or disable
the lock function.
When the moderator locksor unlocks a conference, only the moderator will hear an
announcement that the conference has been locked or unlocked.
Callers who try to join the conference when it is locked hear an announcement that
the conference is locked and they should contact the moderator for assistance.
Raising/Lowering Hands in a Conference Call
NOTE:
The moderator must be using the Meet-Me Moderator Floor Control application in

respond to a moderator’s question by raising and lowering your hand - in a virtual
manner.
