72 CHAPTER 7: STANDARD FEATURES
■ If the recipient does not want to take the call, hang up the second call
and go back to the first call by pressing the Hold button for that call.
Adding a Recipient to
an Existing
Conference
While participating in a conference of three to five people, any recipient
in the conference can add a new recipient. While a new recipient is being
added, the existing recipients in the conference, including the originator,
are still able to communicate, but there is no ring back tone associated
with the new recipient. If a party other than the originator adds a new
recipient, then a cascaded conference is formed. The process to add a
recipient is identical to Setting up an Unannounced Conference
or Setting
up an Announced Conference.
Creating a Cascaded
Conference
Once you establish a conference, anyone in the conference, excluding the
originator, can create a cascaded conference by initiating a conference
call to another party or parties. Those parties in turn can initiate another
cascaded conference. For example, phone P1 (originator) calls phones P2,
P3, P4, P5 and P6 to establish a 6-party conference (called C1). Phone P3
then calls phones P7 and P8. Phone P3 creates a cascaded conference
and is the originator of a 3-party conference (called C2). Conference C2 is
now cascaded with C1. Phone P8 then calls P9 to create conference C3
and is cascaded with C2. Cascading can continue until the maximum
number of ports on the conference server has been reached.
Dropping Conference
Recipients
Once a conference has been established, the conference originator can
either drop the last party added to the conference or drop the entire
conference that the originator initiated. In the example above, if P1 the
originator of conference 1 drops All, only P1, P2, P4, P5 and P6 are
dropped. P3 is not dropped because it is the originator of conference 2
and remains connected to conference 2.
