The following sections describe how to set up an unannounced conference call and an
announced conference call. In either type of conference call, if one of the participants
hangs up, the other two participants remain connected. The following sections also
describe how the conference can drop the last member to join the conference and how
to drop the entire conference.
In an unannounced conference, you conference in the person without notifying that
person:
1) While on a call, press Conference or Feature+430. The system places your
2) Dial the number of the person you want to conference in.

2) Dial the extension of the person you want to conference in, then press the OK
3) When the called party answers, announce the conference.
If the recipient wants to take the call, press Conference or Feature+430. Now
three people are on the same call.
If the recipient does not want to take the call, hang up the second call and go back
to the first call by pressing the Hold button for that call.
While participating in a conference of three to five people, any recipient in the
conference can add a new recipient. While a new recipient is being added, the existing
recipients in the conference, including the originator, are still able to communicate, but
there is no ring back tone associated with the new recipient. If a party other than the
originator adds a new recipient, then a cascaded conference is formed. The process to
add a recipient is identical to Setting up an Unannounced Conference or Setting up an
Announced Conference.
