We have an Electra Elite in a lawyers' office, set up as a PBX, where most every phone has unique CAP keys. One of the lawyers is getting a 2500-type conferencing speakerphone to be set up on a single line card. He would like to be able to put a call on hold at the multibutton set and pick it up at the speakerphone. I know it could be done with transferring or parking, but is it possible for a multibutton and a 2500 set to share dial tone on a line? Thank you for your help.

Unless some else has a better way. You could mount an Analog Port Adaptor APR-UA to the Dterm and wire this out to the analog conference unit. This would allow you to handover from one to the other but they will have the same station number..

I have to agree with paul. There's no smooth way to do this without the Dterm and an APR.

I think I'd go with call park / call park retrieve. You could program a call park button on the digital phone, and then just make them dial a FAC to retrieve at the speakerphone.

As a suggestion, I usually make FACs start with an asterisk or octothorpe (* / #) to prevent accidental dialing.

Thank you for all the responses.

I tried using SIE and CAR, giving the same DN to both ports, even tricking the phone system by assigning a CAP key to the 2500 port.

They are not going to want to buy an adapter for the multibutton; besides, the speakerphone is on the opposite side of the room. Looks like the park/transfer method is the way to go.
