6 Party Conference Issue

[pbcc1]

When adding people to a conference call and you get someone's voicemail is there a way to terminate that call without bringing it into the conference? When I hit the flash key it brings in the voicemail greeting into the call and we can't get rid of it.

If it's a Nortel voice mail system, just dial 83.

For other unknown systems, often dialing zero and having the Oper. hang up on you is a good choice.

On a multi-line phone, press the Goodbye/Release key, then press the flashing DN key to reconnect to the remaining parties.

hit the flash key" indicates that pbcc1's people are using analog(ue) phones.

The best way is to set the conference up on a digital phone and include the analog line. You have much more control on a digital set.

Just want to add that this thread helped me.

We are using Wireless Polycoms on CS1000M and I got the question on how to release an added conference party if it helps vmail. One of those weird question you get.

Anyhow, dialing of 83 works just fine on our system that supports 6 party calling.

Thanks guys!
