On a multiappearance telephone you can activate Privacy – Automatic Exclusion to keep the participants with appearance of the same extension from bridging on to an existing call. Automatic exclusion is available as soon as you answer a call. When you press the exclusion button to turn off automatic exclusion, place a call on hold and rejoin the call, the exclusion button becomes active again. Simultaneously, other participants with bridged appearance who are active on the call are then dropped from the call.
