Conference Calls
You can create a conference call with three participants. One of the other participants can, in
turn, add one or two additional participants to the conference call. To ensure optimum
performance, a maximum of five parties per conference call is recommended.
Note:
Note: If one of the conference participants has a SIP phone with “music on hold”
