Join After Time Out
When conference group members do not answer a conference group call within the preprogrammed time limit,
the member's telephones will stop ringing. However, even after the time limit has expired, members can join
the conference.
Additionally, extension users not registered in the called conference group can join a conference after it has
started. Outside callers using DISA and TIE line users can also join a conference after accessing their extension
using Walking COS.
An entry code can also be specified to restrict access to the call. The entry code can be set when the caller
initiates the conference group call. If an entry code is to be set, usually the caller will inform call participants in
advance.
[Starting a Conference Group Call using Hands-free Answerback]
Hands-free Answerback can be enabled for conference group member extensions. By initiating a conference
group call with a conference group that includes an extension that has Hands-free Answerback (®
8.1.1 Hands-free Answerback) enabled, such as a softphone, the call can be automatically answered and the
conference begins with only one participant (the initiator of the conference group call). Then, up to 6 participants
can use Join After Time Out to join the conference. For example, a manager can organize a meeting where
all the members are calling from cellular phones and use Join After Time Out to join the conference.
Conditions
•
Automatic answering for PTs and PSs can be enabled or disabled for each conference group.
•
Only PTs, PSs, and SLTs that are permitted by COS programming can originate conference group calls.
•
Conference Group Call Control features are unavailable if an SLT is used to initiate the call.
•
Users of PSs other than the KX-WT125/KX-WT126/KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385 may be able to
enable the automatic answering of calls for this feature by changing their PSs' settings. For details, refer
to the operating instructions of the PS.
•
After one conference group member answers the call, the conference or announcement is established.
•
If no members answer the call within the preprogrammed time limit, the caller will hear a busy tone.
•
The caller will hear a confirmation tone every time a member answers the call.
•
When the originating caller of a conference group call goes on-hook, the call ends and all participating
members will be disconnected.
•
The conference group call will reach a member extension regardless of settings such as Call Forwarding
(except DND).
•
If a member extension is busy and has Call Waiting for CO line calls activated when a conference group
call is made, a call waiting tone will be sent to the extension.
•
For members who use a KX-WT125/KX-WT126/KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385 PS, when
automatic answer is enabled for the conference group and the extension is busy when a conference group
call is made, the PS will automatically answer the call if the member goes on-hook while the conference
call is still ringing. A PT will ring instead of answering the call.
