Add Parties to a Conference

NOTE: If the number of parties in your conference exceeds the capacities of the system

resources, you will hear reorder tone and see a display that tells you MAX NUMBER OF PAR-

TIES EXCEEDED. To complete the conference setup, return to the parties on conference wait

hold one by one (Inter-Tel phone users press the associated Call or button, single-line

set users enter the Individual Hold feature code twice) and release parties until there are fewer

than the maximum. Then repeat step 5 to connect the conference.

TO ADD PARTIES TO AN EXISTING CONFERENCE (ANY INSIDE PARTY):

NOTE: This procedure cannot be performed if the maximum number of conference participants

has been reached.

Inter-Tel Phones:

1. During the conference, press the button. The other parties remain connected.

The Call button and button flutter.

2. Place an intercom or outside call to the other party (or return to a call on hold) to be

included in the conference and press the button.

3. To connect all parties in a conference: Press the button again.

4. To add another party: Repeat steps 1-3 again.

Single-Line Sets:

1. During the conference, hookflash. The other parties remain connected.

2. Place an intercom or outside call to the other party to be included in the conference (or

return to a call on hold). Hookflash and enter the Conference feature code (5).

3. To connect all parties in a conference: Hookflash and enter the Conference feature

code (5) again.

4. To add another party: Repeat steps 1-3 again.

There are several options for leaving the conference:

•Exit the conference by hanging up. The other parties remain connected only if at least

one is a station (inside party). You cannot return to the conference. If there are no sta-

tions remaining in the conference, it is disconnected.

•Leave the conference and allow the outside parties to remain connected by pressing the

button or entering the Conference feature code. You can return to the confer-

ence at any time.

•End the conference and place all of the parties on individual hold. You can return to the

parties one at a time.

•Place the entire conference on hold. The conferenced parties remain connected.

NOTE: If a user attempts to place a conference call on system hold, the conference

will be placed on individual hold.
