E.9
. . . to a voice mailbox
Transferring a caller to a mailbox to leave a message
1.
While connected to an internal call, press
TRANSFER
, then press
VOICE MAIL
, and then press a
station key or dial an extension number.
2.
You and the caller will be connected to that user’s personal greeting. You may choose either to
hang up immediately or listen to a portion of the personal greeting (
i. e.,
to assure yourself that you
have placed the caller into the correct mailbox).
Note:
Regardless of when you hang up, the caller will hear the entire personal greeting. To insure the
privacy of the message, you will automatically be disconnected at the record tone.
Conference calling
To create a
conference call
:
1.
Establish the first call.
2.
Press
CONF
1
to place the call on hold.
3.
Place a second call as you normally would.
4.
Once connected to the second call, press
CONF
again to connect all of you together.
Notes:
Repeat these steps to add each additional member to the conference.
A maximum of 16 members can be in a single conference.
Speed-dial keys cannot be used during conferencing if you already have obtained phone line dial tone (also
known as
CO dial tone
).
If the newest added-on member does not answer, press his/her station key again or press
FLASH
to return to
the original conferees. If you place any incoming caller on
hold
or
exclusive hold
(see “Hold/exclusive hold
operation,” page E.13), you can add that caller, as well, to the conference by pressing
CONF
, retrieving the call
from hold (or exclusive hold) and pressing
CONF
again.
Any member of the conference can drop out by simply hanging up. However, when the station that created the
conference hangs up, all members in the conference are disconnected. Individual stations or lines connected to
the conference can be dropped from the conference by pressing their station or line key (lit green).
Note:
Your installer or System Administrator may have enabled trunk-to-trunk conferencing (unsupervised
conferencing) for your station. If so, the steps to initiating such a conference are the same as for
performing any other conference (see above); the difference is that you may hang up, thus exiting the
conference, but the remaining members
won’t
be disconnected. (If this feature isn’t enabled, your hanging
up disconnects all members.)
