identified by their softkeys. The CallManager must be set up with an MCU in order to support
conference calls.

3.5.6.1 Procedures for starting and joining conferences
Action Procedure
Join current callers into a
conference:
With two or more calls on a single line, scroll to highlight
any call on the line and press the Select softkey. Repeat
this process for each call you want to add to the
conference. From one of the selected calls, press the
Join softkey. (You might need to press the more softkey
first.) The active call is automatically added to the
conference.
Establish a conference call by
calling participants:
During a connected call, press the Confrn softkey to add
another party to the call. (You might need to press the
more softkey first.) Enter the conference participant’s
phone number. After the call connects and you have
spoken to the conference participant, press the Confrn
softkey again to add this party to your call. Follow this
procedure to add each participant.
Join a standard conference: Answer the phone when it rings. No other action required
for joining conference.
View conference participants list: Highlight an active conference, and press the ConfList
softkey. The participants are listed in the order in which
they entered the conference. The most recent
participants are listed on the top.
Remove conference participant: Highlight the participant’s name, and press the Remove
softkey.
