Making Conference Calls - AT&T Merlin Legend MLX-20L Operation Manual

Making Conference Calls

Use the Conf (Conference) button on your console to connect
up to five people in the same conversation. You can
conference one or two outside numbers and up to three
extensions, including your own. Anyone who shares a line with
one of the conference participants can join the conference on
the call and is counted as one of the five participants.
You can use the Join button to speak with the original caller
( Source ) and the called person ( Destination ) in a 3-way
conference on a call button. You can add others later.
You can also press the Drop button and then the call button
for the conference to drop the last person added to the
conference. You can inspect the conference call button to see
which person will be dropped (the person with an asterisk
next to his or her name).
Notes:
• If you are part of a 3-way conference, you can press
Release to drop out of the conference while the others
continue to talk. You can handle other calls. If you are
part of a conference and decide to drop out (with Forced
Release ), the entire conference call is disconnected. Put
the conference call on hold so you can get calls while the
participants continue to talk.
• The transmission quality may vary when conferencing to
outside lines.
