time before it is disconnected. Contact your System Administrator for
more information.
If any party in a conference hangs up (including the party that began the conference),
all other parties in the conference are still connected.

before adding them to the conference.
4. Press the Conf Key.

2 both have active conferences. Pressing Line 1 will join Party 1 and Party 2 to the
conference on Line 1. Pressing Line 2 will join Party 1 and Party 2 to the confer-
ence on Line 2.)
