Remove any conference par-

Highlight the participant’s name and press Remove. You can remove

ticipant

participants only if you initiated the conference call.

 

 

End your participation in a

Hang up or press EndCall. If you did not initiate the conference call,

standard conference

hanging up will not disrupt the connection for the remaining parties.

 

If you initiated the conference call, hanging up might end the confer-

 

ence (depending on how your system administrator configured your

 

phone). To avoid this, you can transfer the conference to another

 

caller before hanging up. That caller then acts as the “virtual con-

 

troller” for the conference. A virtual controller cannot add or

 

remove parties; however, the conference continues with the estab-

 

lished participants.

 

 

Tips

Calls must be on the same line before you can add them to a standard conference call. If calls are on different lines, transfer them to a single line before using Confrn or Join.

If you get an error stating, “No Participant Info” when attempting to use Join, be sure that you have selected at least one call in addition to the active call, which is selected automatically.

Depending on how your phone is configured, if you leave a conference after creating it, the conference might end. See the last row of the above table for more information.

Starting or Joining a Meet-Me Conference Call

Meet-Me conferencing allows participants to join a conference by calling the conference number directly, rather than waiting for the conference initiator to call them. See the following table for details.

Establish a Meet-Me

Press NewCall or lift the receiver to go off-hook. Then press MeetMe

conference

and dial the Meet-Me conference number. (See your administrator for

 

a list of valid numbers.)

conference number before you have dialed in.

conference

initiator). You will be connected to the conference only after the
