Use Mute

When not speaking, use of the mute function helps prevent background noise from your location being added to the conference call. This is especially important if you are attempting to participate handsfree.

Handsfree Participation

While many Avaya telephones can be used fully handsfree during a call, that mode of operation is intended only for a single user, seated directly in front of the phone. Attempting to use a handsfree phones for multiple people to listen to and participate in a call will rarely yield good results. See below for details of conference phones supported by the system.

Dedicated Conference Phones

To allow multiple people in one room to speak and listen to a conference call, the system supports the following conference phones:

  • B100 Conference Phones (B179 and B199).

  • Audio Conferencing Unit (ACU).

Group Listen

The Group Listen function can be used via a programmable button or short code. It allows the caller to be heard through a phones handsfree speaker while only being talked to via the phone's handset.
