Station controlled conference

In a station controlled conference you can include up to
8 internal and external users. Users with system tele-
phones can execute or use all of the following func-
tions. ISDN telephones and external users are passive
users - they can only be included in an existing confer-
ence.
You can include users and conferences from a distant
system in your conference. The distant users can set up
and extend their own conference. The members of this
conference are included in your conference. But they
cannot execute or use the functions of your conference.
The following functions are supported for all conference
members (except members of an included conference)
with a system telephone:
• Setting up a conference when calling a user or re-
ceiving a call or making a consultation call or receiv-
ing a second call.
• Accepting a waiting call and including the caller in
the conference.
• Toggling between the conference and a consulta-
tion call or waiting call.
• Holding a consultation call during a conference and
adding it to the conference.
• Interconnecting conference members from two in-
dependent conferences via a distant network.
• Putting the conference on hold, if line keys are in-
stalled.
• Receiving overview of all conference members.
• Transferring the conference to a new user.
The functions listed above can be carried out by all con-
ference members at the same time.
