LG Aria 300's Conference Room 1

[wwwsys]

Hi,

I am wondering if LG Aria 300 system have Conference Room feature like "Please press 9 to join conference" for the person who joining from the outside of the organization. If so how can I setup?

I'll look in to this for you - give me a little time to re-read the manuals. I am not sure if it is possible from the LDK systems.
A conference call can be hosted from a single station, but it is only a 3 way call.
I know of Conference paging, and there is a Conference Room function, but I will need some time to work it out for you.

Here is what I found reading the feature manual


2.7.3 Conference Room
Description
This feature allows internal users or CO callers to join a conference without being invited by the conference
supervisor. This conference feature has the conference join codes, and each conference room has an own join
code (room number). A DID/DISA and transferred CO call can be a member of conference. This feature
terminates when the deactivation code is dialed or Forced Delete PGM code by Attendant.
When a user enters a conference room, previous entered member can hear warning tone. This warning tone will
be presented to All members included as CO Conference Room Members. When a user exits a conference
room, other room members will hear a warning tone also.
Entering Tone is same as Conference feature tone, and Leaving Tone is another.
Leaving beep tone is provided to each Station and CO.
If this tone feels unpleasant, PGM 160 – F11 [CONF WARN TONE] option can be made OFF.
Each Conference Room can be assigned to a DSS button; each Conference Room button will flash or illuminate
steady according to the number of conference room members (LED flashing is enabled for All Stations as well
as the ATD Station).

Here are the simple instructions as promised.
Attached is a picture for you to reference

I have tested this against my LDK-20 system which uses the same programming, but has a smaller capacity.

To start a Conference room
> Go to any station
> Press TRANS/PGM 43
> Dial a Room number between 1 and 9
> Dial in a 5 digit password if required
> Press Hold/Save

To assign a Conference room to a flex/DSS key
> Press TRANS/PGM and choose a vacant key
> Enter feature as "*57x" where x is the number of the room you want to assign.
*571 for Room 1, etc
> Press Hold/Save
The Flex light will light up red when the room is activated and available to use, and will not be lit up when the room has been de-activated.
When it is lit up steadily, the room is empty.
It will flash slowly when there are 1-3 callers in the room
It will flash quickly when there are between 4 and 6 callers in the room
It will flash rapidly when there are more than 7 callers in the room

To De-activate a Conference Room
> Press TRANS/PGM 44
> Dial Room Number to de-activate, followed by the 5 digit password, if assigned
> Press Hold/Save
(Conference Room LED will turn off if programmed on a DSS/Flex key)

To route callers in from an existing CCR Menu
> Open ADMIN PGM 228
> Choose the VMIB announcement as your index (Message 50 is Index 50)
> Choose Destination as Conf Room
> Enter Room Number
> Press Update

Warning for Analog CO Trunks
With a VOIM/VOIB card in the system and calls routed through the VoIP trunks, the system knows when a call has been terminated, and the line is dropped accordingly. In the instance of an analog line, it can't be established properly by the system when the line connected has been hung up by the remote caller.
In a Conference room, the caller leaving by hanging up, must be ejected by a person on the LDK system (should be able to be anyone) by using the soft keys.
>Press CONF
>Use the directional buttons to navigate to the caller to be ejected
>Press the DELETE soft key.
Caller is ejected.
