Conference Calls

Description
Conference Calls allow you to add another party to an existing conversation. With the standard
system configuration, up to 3 parties can be included in a conference call at any one time. If the
optional Conference Card is installed, up to 8 parties can participate in a conference call.
Any combination of extensions and trunk lines can be in the conference as long as the original
extension is in the conference and the total number of parties does not exceed 8. Only one operation is
used to establish and add to a conference. You simply have to place the current call on hold, dial the
next party and press the CONF key. No different operation or access code is required to add
additional parties to the call.
When no optional conference card is installed, the system supports the following types of three-party

conference calls:

• 3 extensions
• 2 extensions and 1trunk line
• 1 extension and 2 trunk lines
When the optional 8-party conference card is installed, the system supports any combination of
conference calls, except all outside lines.
Operation
To establish a conference call:
1. While on a call, press the HOLD key or the line key of your
current call.
2. If adding an outside party, press a vacant trunk key, or dial a
trunk access code (default = 9 [UK/HK], 0[Taiwan, Malay-
sia, Indonesia], or 81-84).
3. Dial the number of the party you wish to add to the call.
4. Press the CONF key when your call is answered.
5. To add additional parties, repeat steps 1-4
