Attendant-Controlled Conference - CCIS
General Description
This feature allows the Attendant to establish a conference among as many as eight parties. The conference group
can consist of any combination of stations and/or trunks in a CCIS network.
Operating Procedure
To activate ATTENDANT-CONTROLLED CONFERENCE - CCIS

A station calls the Attendant to request a conference.

The Attendant connects the calling station to the conference leader by dialing the circuit number of the
conference leader connected to the Conference Unit.
3.
The Attendant sequentially calls all desired parties and connects by pressing START, dialing the pilot
number of the conference, and pressing RELEASE.
Using the MMCB
4.
When all parties are connected, the conference leader with a push-button telephone can dial digit “0” to
prevent additional stations from entering the conference group, thereby assuring privacy. If the leader
presses “0” again, more parties can be added.
5.
If the conference leader dials digit “#”, all conferees will be disconnected. Otherwise, the conference is
terminated only after all parties have hung up.
Using the PA-CFTB

group. Only the Pilot number of this group should be published.
3.
Each Conference Unit can provide up to an eight-party conference.
4.
Override services, such as BUSY VERIFICATION [B-3] [B-9], ATTENDANT OVERRIDE [A-7] or
EXECUTIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY [E-1] [E-8], are denied to stations engaged in a conference call.

The PA-CFTB circuit card may be used rather than the external Conference Unit MMCB. The MMCB
also requires a PA-16LC that is not required by the PA-CFTB.
