The Multi Party Call Services object defines whether this subscriber uses services for handling multi party calls.
Each Multi Party Call Services object is a child of an Individual Line or Business Group Line object. It is created automatically if the Global Multi Party Call Services object supports one or more of the Multi Party Call services; you cannot create, delete, enable or disable it.
Multi Party Call Services do not apply to a MADN, MLHG Pilot DN, a PBX, or an Individual Line that is a Teen Service line for another line. However, a MADN Member's Business Group Line may have one or more of these services enabled.
Call Waiting, Call Hold and 3-Way Calling do not apply to SIP subscribers, but SIP devices may provide native support for these services.
To allow the subscriber to use a particular Multi Party Call service, you simply need to configure the service.
Most parameters relating to each of these services are visible in the EMS System Explorer only when the service is configured.
