The following sections describe how to set up an unannounced
conference call and an announced conference call. In either type of
conference call, if one of the participants hangs up, the other two
participants remain connected. The following sections also describe how
the conference can drop the last member to join the conference and how
to drop the entire conference.
In an unannounced conference, you conference in the person without
notifying that person:
1 While on a call, press Feature + 430. The system places your caller on
hold.
2 Dial the number of the person you want to conference in.
3 Press Feature + 430 again. The three-way conference begins when the
recipient answers the call.
In an announced conference, you call the recipient and announce that
you want to conference them into a call. The recipient can then decide
whether to take the call:
1 While on a call, press Feature + 430. The system places your caller on
hold.
2 Dial the extension of the person you want to conference in, then press
the OK Access button (or press Feature + 120).
