Description
The system can accommodate eight (8), 4 member (party) conferences,
simultaneously. Conference combinations may consist of 3 CO lines maximum and
any number of extensions to a maximum of 4 parties (members). One inside key
telephone station is the controller of the conference and constitutes one conference
member. Before a conference can be established with a maximum of 4 members, a
3 ‐ member conference must first be established.
Supervised/Unsupervised
A Supervised Conference is a conference in which at least one member is an
extension of the Emerald ICE system. The Emerald ICE extension that establishes a
conference is the conference controller and may add and/or delete members of the
conference at any time. The conference controller also has the privilege of
establishing an Unsupervised Conference.
An Unsupervised Conference is a conference in which only CO lines are members.
All members are therefore outside of the premises and connected together using
the Emerald ICE conference resource. An unsupervised conference may be
re ‐ joined by the initiating Emerald ICE extension however, since that extension
maintains control of the conference even though it is unsupervised.
The extension that establishes a conference is called the controlling party.
Only the conference controller can add a new conference connection (party).
Only the controlling party is allowed to invite or forcibly release any attending
internal or external party, or to setup a “private talk” with any one attending
party.
When adding new parties to a conference and while speaking privately to a
particular conference member other members of the conference will be connected
to Music On Hold .
