Conducting a conference

In a system-supported conference you can include up to
8 internal and external users. Users with system tele-
phones can perform or use all the following functions si-
multaneously. ISDN telephones and external stations
are passive users, they can only be included in an exist-
ing conference.
You can include users and conferences from a remote
system in your own conference. The remote stations
can set up a conference of their own and extend it. The
members of this conference are included in your cur-
rent conference – but they cannot perform or use the
following functions.
The following functions are supported for all conference
members with a system telephone:
• Setting up a conference when calling a user or re-
ceiving a call or making a consultation call or receiv-
ing a second call.
• Accepting a waiting call and including the caller in
the conference.
• Toggling between the conference and a consulta-
tion call or waiting call.
• Holding a consultation call during a conference and
adding it to the conference.
• Interconnecting conference members from two in-
dependent conferences via a remote network.
• Putting the conference on hold, if line keys are in-
stalled.
• Viewing all the conference members.
• Transferring the conference to a new user.
These functions can be carried out by all conference
members at the same time.
