Recall/Timed Flash
Conference
The Conf button is used to enter the Flash special character, which
simulates pressing the Recall button in telephone numbers programmed
for Directories, Auto Dial buttons, or Speed Dial codes.
In Hybrid/PBX and Key modes, a single-line telephone user with a Recall
or Flash button can add a participant to a conference call and connect all
participants by using the Recall or Flash button. In addition, the Recall or
Flash button can be used either to drop the most recently added
participant or to drop a busy number.
In Behind Switch mode, the fixed Conf button on an MLX or analog
multiline telephone must be set through system programming to send a
timed flash plus the code expected by the host switch to activate
conference on the host. If the communications system’s Conference
feature is also desired, it must be assigned to an available line button on
each multiline telephone through extension or centralized telephone
programming. Recall has no effect on a completed conference call.
Coverage
Recall has no effect on a call answered on a Primary Cover, Secondary
Cover, or Group Cover button.
In Release 2.0 and later systems, Recall can be used on a Group
Coverage call answered by a member of a calling group. In Release 1.0
and 1.1 systems, Recall cannot be used on a call of this type because it is
answered on an SA or ICOM button.
Directories
The Conf button is used to enter the Flash special character, which
simulates pressing the Recall button in a Directory listing telephone
number.
Display
When an MLX telephone user presses a programmed Recall button while
on an outside line, the line information is redisplayed just as if the user
had gone off hook on the line.
Forward and
Follow Me
A multiline telephone user on an inside Forward or Follow Me call can use
Recall. In Release 2.0 and later systems, Recall also can be used on an
outside call received on a loop-start line.
Group Calling
A user who has received an inside calling group call can use Recall.
Hold
A single-line telephone user with a Recall or Flash button can press
Recall or Flash to put a call on hold.
HotLine
A switchhook flash from a HotLine extension (Release 5.0 and later
systems) is not transmitted to the system or central office.
Multi-Function
Module
An MFM cannot send a timed flash. As a result, a single-line telephone or
other device connected to an MFM cannot use Recall.
Last Number Dial
Recall can be used on a Last Number Dial call on a personal line, Pool
button (loop-start only), an inside call or, in Release 2.0 and later
systems, an outside call on a loop-start line using an SA or ICOM button.
Night Service
A user (except a QCC operator) on an inside Night Service call can use
Recall. In Release 2.0 and later systems, Recall also can be used on
outside calls received on loop-start lines.
Park
A single-line telephone user can press a Recall or Flash button for Park.
