Actions During a Call Create a Conference Call
You have two methods of holding conference calls.
• During a call, you can add callers to create a conference.
• Alternatively, you can dial-in to a conference call being held at a pre-defined
time. The numbers and passwords (optional) used for dial-in conferences are
established by your System Manager. External callers can join dial-in
conferences, but they must dial in to the INDeX and request a transfer to the dial-
in conference.
Both types of conference calls can have up to 64 participating members.
External Lines:
If your exchange uses digital lines, you can conference several of these with internal
parties. However, if your exchange uses any other type of line, you can only include
one of those in a conference. Check with your System Manager for details.
