Placing a Conference Call

Follow these steps to turn a call into a conference call.

Procedure

Step 1 During a call, press the more softkey and then the Confrn softkey. Doing so automatically activates a new line and puts the first party on hold.

Step 2 Place a call to another number or extension.

Step 3 When the call connects, press Confrn again to add the new party to the conference call.

Repeat these steps to add parties to the conference call.

Once the conference call initiator disconnects, no additional parties can be added.

You can drop the last party added by pressing the RmLstC softkey.

Using Meet-Me Conferences

Your Cisco IP Phone supports Meet-Me conferences. A Meet-Me conference allows other callers to dial into the conference call. A Meet-Me conference requires a special conference number which is pre-configured for this purpose by your system administrator.
