System-based conference

This type of conference is also referred to as a large con-
ference. It can include up to ten parties.
Prerequisite: You are conducting a consultation call
page 56 or you have accepted a second call
page 86, and the "System conference" feature was
configured by your service personnel.
Establishing a conference
Select and confirm the option shown in the connec-
tion's context menu. You are connected to the first two
parties at once. The conference is displayed with the
current participants. You can now:
• initiate a consultation call
• add a party
• put the conference on hold
• leave the conference.
Conducting a consultation call
Select and confirm the option shown in the "Confer-
ence" context menu. If the party answers, you can:
• toggle between the party and the conference
• connect the consultation call to another called party
• end the consultation call and return to the confer-
ence
• add the consultation call party to the conference.
If you intend to include the consultation call party
in the conference, you can also use the
"Hinzufügen zu Konferenz" option instead of the
"Consultation" option.
If you want to use the phonebook or a call list
for the consultation, select Hold in the context
menu instead of Consult (or Hinzufügen zu
Konferenz) or press the Hold key and then select
the phonebook or a required call list
( page 105).
Alternatively you can select the phonebook or a
call list without using the Hold functions - the
conference call is automatically placed on Hold.
Add party
Prerequisite: You are conducting a consultation call and
the conference is on hold.
