While on an active call

Configuring a conference call

When you want to invite three or more callers to a call, you can configure a conference call using the IP Deskphone. The call server handles conference calls. You can join incoming calls to the conference call, or you can join calls that you initiate.

Note: Your system administrator or service provider must enable 3- way calling and conference calls for your IP Deskphone. Contact your service provider or system administrator to determine if this feature is available.

To configure a conference call while on an active call with more than one other caller:

1.Press the Up/Down navigation key to highlight one of the calls,

Join

2. Press the Join context-sensitive soft key

 

and select Conference from the menu.

 

The calls are joined together as a

 

conference call on the call server.

When you receive a new call while on a conference call, you can answer, ignore, decline, or forward the call as you would any call. You can also initiate a new call while on a conference call in the normal way and return to the conference call after you complete the call. The conference call continues while you are on the other call.

Note: If you press the Goodbye key or select Release from the Action menu while on the conference call you leave the conference call. The conference call continues with the other callers.
