Creating a Cascaded Conference

Once you establish a conference, anyone in the conference, excluding the originator,
can create a cascaded conference by initiating a conference call to another party or
parties. Those parties in turn can initiate another cascaded conference. For example,
telephone P1 (originator) calls phones P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6 to establish a 6-party
conference (called C1). Telephone P3 then calls phones P7 and P8. Telephone P3
creates a cascaded conference and is the originator of a 3-party conference (called C2).
Conference C2 is now cascaded with C1. Telephone P8 then calls P9 to create
conference C3 and is cascaded with C2. Cascading can continue until the maximum
number of ports on the conference server has been reached.

Dropping Conference Recipients

Once a conference has been established, the conference originator can either drop the
last party added to the conference or drop the entire conference that the originator
initiated. In the example above, if P1 the originator of conference 1 drops All, only P1,
P2, P4, P5 and P6 are dropped. P3 is not dropped because it is the originator of
conference 2 and remains connected to conference 2.

2-party non-conference call.

telephone. When the extension can receive a call, the system automatically dials your
