Fast call switching
Fast call switching allows you, while already on a call, to make a second call and quickly switch between the two. This can be
useful if you are serving as a broker between two parties or you need to quickly contact an installer while on the phone with
a customer. Using fast call switching rather than placing the call on hold also prevents other users from picking up your call.
Using fast call switching:
While on a call, press [TRAN] – You will be presented with
the transfer tones and the other party is played music.
Now pick up another line by pressing the corresponding line
button before dialling the second number.
Pressing the [TRAN] button will now toggle between the two
calls.
Three way calling
Three ‐ way calling allows you to invite a third person into your call, either another local phone connected to the PBX, or any
other number through a telephone line.
Please note that three ‐ way calling must first be enabled, see
Basic Programming Options
for more information.
When three way calling is enabled, the fast call switching feature will behave as a three way call.
To start a three way call:
While on a call, press [TRAN] – You will be presented with
the transfer tones and the other party is played music.
To invite a local station, dial the station number and wait for
the user to pick up. To invite a remote telephone number,
pick up a line by pressing any unused line key, dial the
participant’s number and wait until they answer.
Once the third participant has successfully connected, press
the [TRAN] key once more to begin the three ‐ way call.
Pressing the [TRAN] key during the conversation will toggle
between the three way call and each participant.
Paging
Call paging allows the EasyPBX to function as a PA system. One phone acts as the microphone while the rest become
speakers. This can be useful for informing employees of calls when they cannot be located. What ever is said into the
handset will be played out of the speakers of all the other phones connected to the system.
Note: An external amplifier can be fitted to the EasyPBX system to allow for overhead paging. For information regarding this
feature please contact your local EasyPBX dealer.
Starting a page:
To start a page, simply press the [PAGE] button twice.
To stop paging, simply hang up the phone.
