We have a meridian 11c with a music trunk. It provides music-on-hold
for both internal and external calls. The phones are all Nortel
M3904 digital phones.

Our users create conference calls using their phones and the PBX.
When one of the participants in the conference call puts the call on
hold, our on-hold music is played to all the conference participants
to their great annoyance.

Is there a key sequence that allows a user to mute their session on
the conference so the music-on-hold is not playing for everyone else
on the call?

Thanks,
Steve

I don't believe that's posible to avoid. In fact, any phone system would
be susceptible unless the conference is going on its own conference
bridge. Otherwise there is no way the system can differentiate a
conference call (no hold music) from a regular call (play hold music).
Have people use "mute" instead of "hold" if all they want is just to get
away from their phone for awhile. If they need to take care of another
call (which is where "hold" would be unavoidable), have them drop from the
conference and then add them back again. It's not that they are going to
hear what's going on while they are gone, anyways.
