Audio Conference Calls
You can initiate an audio conference call with two contacts and hold, resume, or split a conference call, and
manage a maximum of 12 active or held conference calls at a time. However, you can have only one active
conference call in progress with numerous other conference calls on hold.
If your system administrator enables the Conference Management feature on the unified conference station,
you can manage each participant in the call. With the Conference Management feature, you can mute, hold,
and remove individual participants in a conference call. For more information, see the section
