Remote outside-line-group access
To help reduce long-distance costs, your administrator may have allowed
remote outside-line-group access
.
To dial a phone number that is local to the remote office:
1.
Press the Location Key for the remote office.
2.
Dial
9
(or
8
or
71
–
76
)
3.
Wait for the second dial tone. Then, when you hear it, dial the desired phone number.
As an example, let’s say you’re in the Chicago office and need to call a contact near the Dallas office. You
know that the Dallas location has an outside line access code of
9
and a location number of
701
. Therefore,
you press the Location Key for Dallas (or dial
7 0 1
), dial
9
, wait for the second dial tone and — when you
hear it — dial the local Dallas number.
Conferencing
You can conference up to 15 other local and remote location stations and outside calls. A conference
member station in a remote location also can add one or two members to an existing conference by using the
remote location conference bridge. Additional members can be included; but, because of potential voice
quality degradation, ESI recommends that conference bridges from
no more than two remote locations
be
used for a conference call. To conference a remote location station:
1.
While currently connected to a station or outside line, press
CONF
.
2.
Press the Location Key and dial the extension number for the person to be conferenced.
3.
When the person answers, press
CONF
again to initiate the conference.
Note:
If you decide you don’t want to conference this call, after all, press
FLASH
to disconnect the call
and reconnect to the first call.
4.
To add each additional member to the conference (up to a maximum of 16 total conference members,
counting yourself
), repeat steps 1–3.
