Emergency Conference
Emergency Conference enables you to establish a Conference between a pre-defined group of extensions using a
feature access code. Make sure Emergency Conference is enabled in the Class of Service assigned to your
extension.
This feature can be used to call and consult a group of people in emergency situations.
NAVAN supports up to 6 parties in a Multiparty conference. You can merge upto two Emergency Conferences with
3 members in each conference.
For more details, see “Conference-3 Party” and “Conference - Multiparty”.
How it works
For this feature to work, you must do the following:
• First decide the key persons in the organization who should be parties to the Emergency Conference.
• Form a Department Group with the extensions of these key persons as members. A single Department
Group can have up to 32 extensions. However, for Emergency Conference you can make a Department
Group with five members only.
For more information on forming Department Groups, see the topic “Department Call” .
For example, you have formed a Department Group for Emergency Conference, with the extensions A, B and C as
members. The Access Code assigned to the Department Group is 391.
Another Emergency Conference is established among the members of Department Group 392. This Department
Group has extensions X, Y and Z as members.
Now, extension A wants to initiate an Emergency Conference.
This is how the feature will work.
Initiating an Emergency Conference
• A dials the feature access code for Emergency Conference, followed by the access code of the
Department Group (391).
• All extensions in the Department Group (extensions B and C) which are free will start ringing. The system
will play
Emergency Conference ring (default: Triple Ring) on the Extensions. Extension that is busy will
not be included in the call.
If there are Extended IP Phone extensions in the group, and these phones have a Call Appearance free,
the system will ring these extensions on the free Call Appearance, but it will not wait for the extensions to
become free.
• Extension B goes Off-Hook to answer the call first. B gets connected to the initiator of the conference,
extension A.
