Conference calling using an IP5000 Series telephone allows up to eight
parties to join together on a conference call. The party initiating the
conference call is known as the "conference master". If the conference master
exits the conference, the first station added to the conference becomes the
master.
The maximum number of participants on a conference call is eight (including
the conference master.) The actual number of conference parties with
acceptable volume levels depends on local and distant telephone line
conditions.
Some models of SIP telephones also have their own built-in conference
feature. Please refer to the device documentation for description and
programming instructions.
