To set up a Meet-Me Conference using a system-generated access code:

1.Generate a Meet-Me Conference access code through the Configuration Assistant appli- cation (see page 74).

2.Tell all intended conference participants to call the Conference Assistant at an agreed-upon time and use the system-generated number as the access code to join the conference.

3.Follow the instructions for “Joining a Meet-Me Conference“ on page 66.

Joining a Meet-Me Conference

You can join a conference with up to seven internal and/or external parties (for a total of eight parties, including yourself).

To join a Meet-Me Conference:

1.Dial (or ask to be transferred to) the Conference Assistant extension number. (See your administrator if you do not know the extension number.) You hear: “Welcome to the Con- ference Assistant. Enter an access code, and then press Pound (#). To cancel, press Star

(*).”

2.Enter the appropriate access code for the Meet-Me Conference you wish to join (see “Access Codes“ on page 65). Note the following:

If you enter an invalid access code, the Conference Assistant prompts you to try again.

If there are no conferencing resources available, or if the maximum number of allowed parties has already been reached, you hear: “All circuits are busy. Please try again later.” Hang up and try again later.

3.Once connected, you can talk with other parties who join the conference. (Your phone shows the name of the conference [if available], the total conference duration, and the number of parties connected to the conference.) Note the following:

If you are the first person in the conference, you hear: “You are the first person in this conference. Please stay on the line.” You then hear music until another caller joins the conference or you hang up.

As other parties join or leave the conference, you hear a tone to signal the change.

If the conference contains only external callers, the Conference Assistant will prompt the participants to extend the conference after a period time. If no one presses a digit to extend the conference, the system terminates the conference.

Dropping Out of a Meet-Me Conference

You can leave a conference and still leave the other parties connected.

To exit a Meet-Me Conference:

Hang up. The other parties in the conference remain connected.
