The help command is sensitive to where the chairperson is in the
command structure. For example, if the conference is in the normal
active state, the chairperson hears the main list of commands after
dialing **. If the chairperson dials out to a person and then dials **, the
chairperson hears the list of commands relevant to dialing out. If the
chairperson dials *69 or *60 to count conferees, and then dials **, the
chairperson hears the list of commands relevant to counting conferees.
Conferees can dial ** to hear a list of command options available to
conferees. Only the participant who dials ** hears the relevant list of
commands.

Acquire and release chairperson control
Follow the steps in Procedure 20 to acquire, or release, chairperson
control.
Procedure 20
Acquire/release chairperson control
1 To acquire chairperson control, dial *51. The system reacts as follows:
• If another chairperson is present at the conference, the command fails.
The system notifies the user and returns them to the meeting.
• If there is no active chairperson, the system prompts the user to enter the
chairperson password for the meeting. If the password is correct, the user
becomes the chairperson. If the password is incorrect, the system
prompts the user to retry two more times. If the password is still incorrect,
the command fails and the system returns the user to the meeting.
2
To release chairperson control, dial *52. Only the chairperson uses this
command. When activated, the chairperson becomes a regular conference
participant allowing someone else to acquire chairperson control.
