Conference Calls
You can conference together up to eight parties (including your own) - with up to six
parties being external network lines. The actual number of conference parties with
acceptable volume levels depends on the local and far end telephone line conditions.
The person who initiates the conference call is the Master. If, after the conference is
established and the Master exits the conference, the first station to have been added to
the conference becomes the Master.
To conference calls
1. While on a call, press
Cnf/Trn
. You hear dial tone and your Line LED flashes green.
2. Call another station or outside line.
3. When the called party answers, press
Cnf/Trn. If you receive a busy tone or no
answer, press
Cnf/Trn again to return to the original connection.
All parties are conferenced. If the second call was placed on a
Line that appears on
your telephone, the LED also flashes green.
4. Repeat the above steps to add lines to the conference. Keep in mind the maximum
number of allowed conference parties.
Note When the “master” of the conference hangs up, the control is automatically
transferred to the first internal station added to the conference call. If no other
internal stations are included in the conference call, the call will be
disconnected.
To transfer conference control
1. Do Steps 1 and 2 above to add the line to which you wish to transfer conference
control. See previous Note.
2. Announce the call and hang up to transfer it. This station now becomes the
conference “master” with the ability to add or delete parties.
To hold a conference call
If you are the Conference Master, press the
Hold button once (or twice for
Executive Hold) to place the conference call on hold. The other parties can
continue with the conference. Music-on-hold is suppressed and your extension
LED flashes green. You can rejoin the conference at any time by pressing your
extension button. When you return, you retain Master status.
