While on an active call

Setting up a conference call
When you want to invite three or more callers to a call, you can set up a
conference call using the Avaya 1165E 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 Avaya 1165E IP
Deskphone. Contact your service provider or system administrator to
determine if this feature is available.
To set up a conference call while on an active call with more than
one other caller:
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.
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.
