AT&T 1987 AT&T Telephone User Manual


 
ATTENDANT JOIN (V2; SLAC Only)
Description
Allows the attendant, while extending an incoming call, to connect together the calling
party, the called party, and the console in a 3-way call.
All parties can talk to each other.
The attendant activates the feature by pressing the JOIN button while still connected to one
of the other parties.
Considerations
The join feature cancels a split condition.
The attendant can use the Join feature to stay on unextended call and give assistance to the
other parties.
A joined call can be expanded into a conference call by adding more parties.
Interactions
Once the JOIN button has been pressed, there is no way to “unjoin” the calling and called
parties (that is, separate them back into SOURCE and DEST).
Refer to the Attendant Feature descriptions for information on related features (Table 2-E).
Administration Requirements
None
2-35
Hardware Requirements
None; the JOIN button is a standard fixed feature button on the SLAC.
