Group Calls: Controlling Permission to Speak
Group Calls: Controlling Permission to Speak
This function is relevant for Group Calls defined to admit participants only in
Mute
mode. This feature allows the Group
Operator to grant a participant permission to speak – either by operator's own initiative or as a response to the Request to
Speak sent by a Group Call participant. The operator can ignore the Request to Speak, or act as described below. To utilize the
feature, the Group Operator's keyset must be equipped with a display and the DSS buttons programmed with participants' dial
numbers.
Responding to the request to speak:
1. Listen for the muted ring and check the station number/name displayed.
2. Press the flashing DSS button associated with the station that is requesting permission to speak.
3. Notify the participant that permission to speak is given.
Initiating permission to speak:
1. Press the steadily lit DSS button associated with the required participant.
2. Ask the participant to start speaking.
Retracting permission to speak:
1. Notify the participant that the permission will be retracted.
2. Press the flashing DSS button associated with the participant to be muted.
NOTE!
A Group Operator who left the conference and rejoined in the Mute mode must give himself
permission to speak by pressing the steadily lit DSS button pre-programmed with his own dial
number.
