You may use your SoundStation Premier
500D/550D to establish a conference call
of two or more parties. Place your first
call and ask the party to hold while you
conference additional parties. Press the
CONF button. This places the first party
on hold while you dial the next number.
The display will show CONFERENCE,
then the number being dialed. The green
LEDs on the console will blink to indicate
that a conference attempt is in process.
If you successfully reach the second
party and wish to add that party to the
conference call, press
CONF again. The
display will show CONFERENCE again
and the second party will be added to
the call. The display will change to call
duration and the LEDs will stop blinking.
If you reach voicemail or do not wish
to add the second party to the call, press
ON/OFF and that party will be dropped.
Repeat these steps to dial then add or drop
additional parties.
Conferencing features, including the
number of parties that can be conferenced
on a single call, vary by PBX system.
Check with your network administrator
if you are unsure about the conferencing
services provided.
CAUTION: Once added to the conference,
calls cannot be selectivey dropped without
terminating the conference call.
Take care to terminate unwanted
calls - busy tone, voicemail, a person
otherwise occupied - by pressing
ON/OFF before pressing CONF
to begin the next attempt. Far end
participants may hang up at any time.
