Hosting Local Conference Calls

Setting Up Conferences

Note
You can create a conference with up to two other parties using the phone's
local conference feature. To quickly set up a conference, you can use the
Join soft key to create a conference between an active call and a call on hold.
After you set up a conference, you can hold the conference call, split the
conference call into individual calls on hold, or end the conference call (and
your connection to the conference call participants).
This section includes the following topics:
• Setting Up Conferences
• Managing Conferences
• Holding and Resuming Conferences
• Splitting Conferences
• Ending Conferences
You can set up a conference in one of two ways:
• Using the key or the Confrnc soft key.
• Using the Join soft key, if you have an active call and a call on hold.
