Conference Calls

You can place conference calls including up to 5 parties, and you can speak
privately with each party before adding them to the conference call. Any
internal user is able to add parties to the conference call.
The quality of the conference call depends on the quality of service
available with the local telephone company.
To initiate a conference call while connected to the first party:
1. Press FLASH.
2. At the dial tone, dial the next party's phone number.
3. Wait for the third party to answer and announce the conference call.
4. Press # to put all three parties into the conference call.
5. During conferencing, any internal conference participant may press
FLASH, dial the next party's number, and press # to bring the person
into the conferencing session.
There are some system technical restrictions on conference calls.
On each Quantum board, the extensions assigned to the board can be
involved in a maximum of 3 different conferences. For example, if
extensions 101 - 110 are all on the same board, 101, 105, and 107 could be
involved in one conference call, while 104 and 108 were on another, and
109 and 102 were on a third call.
