HOW TO USE
When you want other people to join a call in progress, you can use the
Conference feature. You can set up intercom conference calls among people
connected to the MERLIN II system, outside conference calls involving only
yourself and people outside the system, or a combination of the two. A
conference call can include up to two people from outside the MERLIN II
system, up to two people who are connected to the MERLIN II system, and
yourself, a total of five people.

People connected to the MERLIN II system can bridge onto an outside
that is active in the conference call, unless one of the participants has
activated Privacy.
line
You cannot bridge onto a call that already includes three people connected
to the MERLIN II system.
If all participants within the MERLIN 11 system place the call on hold,
people on outside lines participating in the conference call can still confer.
If everyone in a conference call composed of only people connected to the
MERLIN II system places the call on hold, the call is automatically
terminated.
If you drop a line that has other people bridged onto it, those people are
also disconnected from the conference.
Under extremely heavy system use of the Conference feature, other
people in the system may not be able to initiate a conference call or add
more participants to a conference in progress.
