Tandem Trunking lets you set up a Conference with two or more out-
side callers and then drop out of the call - leaving the callers talking
in an Unsupervised Conference. Once you drop out you are not part of
the conversation. The Unsupervised Conference continues until either
outside caller hangs up. Optionally, you can rejoin the Conference and
end it whenever you choose.
If you are a dispatcher for outside service people, for example, you
can use Tandem Trunking to put two of your service people in touch:
G Answer a call from one service person
.
G
Place a call to the second service person.
G
Set up the line-to-line Conference.
G
Drop out of the call.
