Transferring callers directly to voicemail
You can transfer a caller directly to voicemail, without ringing the recipient’s telephone. This feature is
useful if a caller needs to leave a message for a user, but does not need to speak to the user directly. After a
direct transfer, the caller hears the user’s personal assistant greeting, and can follow the prompts
accordingly.

Using the NetVanta UC Server conference bridge
The UC server has the ability to support a limited-sized conference bridge application. The number of
participants is limited to the number of licenses available, however additional conference expansion
licenses can be purchased. See your system administrator for more details. You can use your SIP phone
during the conference to access several options, such as muting or adding participants.
Any lone user in a conference bridge hears the sound of “crickets,” which is
confirmation that they are the only person in the conference.
