2 outside callers and 1 Local Extension (Line 1 and Line 2):
You can do this type of conference call using two different methods.
The first method is similar to above, using only TalkSwitch for the conference
function.
1. Establish a call with an outside party.
2. Place the outside caller on hold and dial the number of the other outside
party you wish to conference with.
3. When the call is answered, you can establish the 3-way call at anytime by
pressing Flash '6'.
When using the telephone company's 3-Way Calling/Conference service you
can conference by following the instructions below:
1. Establish a call with an outside party.
2. Place the outside caller on hold by pressing Flash twice and then dial the
number of the other outside party you wish to conference with.
3. When the call is answered, you can establish the 3-way call at anytime by
pressing Flash twice.
3.2.8 Using Phones connected in parallel to TalkSwitch
Phones connected in parallel with TalkSwitch will always ring at least once before
TalkSwitch starts ringing its extensions or the Auto Attendant answers the call . This
occurs because TalkSwitch uses the first ring to identify the incoming call before
passing it on to the extensions or the Auto Attendant (e.g. TalkSwitch determines if
the call is a Distinctive Ring and detects any Caller ID information). A
parallel phone
can 'barge in' on any telephone call on any of TalkSwitch's Lines (e.g. any calls to
or from a TalkSwitch extension).
Making and receiving calls on phones connected in parallel with TalkSwitch:
Making Calls:
Make calls on parallel connected phones just as you would if
TalkSwitch were not sharing the telephone line with them.
Answering Calls:
If a call is answered on a parallel connected phone before the
Auto Attendant engages, simply continue with the call as per usual, TalkSwitch
will take no further action. If a call is answered on a parallel connected phone
after the Auto Attendant engages, you can turn off the recorded Auto Attendant
message by using the phone's touchtone keypad to dial '
0
'. You may then
continue the call on the parallel connected phone.
