Place A Call From Your Local Directory - Cisco 7941G User Manual

Ad Hoc Conference Call
Ad hoc conferences, which support up to eight parties, are created when one party calls another, then either party decides to
add another party to the call. This is the default behavior. Your system can be configured so that only the conference creator
can add parties to the conference.
The default is that the conference is maintained as long as three parties remain in the conference. Any party can hang up and
the conference is maintained. Your system can be configured so that the conference drops when the creator hangs up. Your
system can also be configured so that the conference drops when the last local party hangs up.
