Conference - Siemens Optiset E Standard Quick Reference Manual

Conference

The Conference feature lets you have up to five internal or
external parties, including yourself, in a telephone
conversation.
Once a conference has begun, only the person who set it up may
add or remove parties. That person is the conference master. If
the conference master has left the conference, then the internal
caller whom has been participating in the conference the longest
will be the new conference master.
