Conference - AT&T SYSTEM 25 User Manual

Conference

You can set up a conference that includes System 25
stations as well as outside callers. The maximum number of
conferees is five; however, no more that two may be on
outside trunks. The basic technique for setting up a
conference is to start with an established call and then
contact the new parties one at a time and add them to the
original loop.
Once a conference has been set up and all the parties can
talk to each other, you cannot selectively drop a conferee.
Individual members of the conference wishing to drop out
must hang up.
Setting Up a Conference
1. Establish an active connection with the first conferee,
either by placing a call to or answering a call from that
party.
2. Press [CONFERENCE].
• The green light next to the <LOOP> button
winks.
• The system selects a new loop and supplies dial
tone.
3. On the new loop, call the next party in the conference,
using a normal call placing procedure.
Note: While you are still setting up a conference, you
can drop calls before they have been added.
• Press [DROP] to drop an inside call that is
ringing or returning busy tone, intercept, reorder,
etc.
