The help command is sensitive to where the chairperson is in the command structure. For example, if the conference is in the normal active state, the chairperson hears the main list of commands after dialing **. If the chairperson dials out to a person and then dials **, the chairperson hears the list of commands relevant to dialing out. If the chairperson dials *69 or *60 to count conferees, and then dials **, the chairperson hears the list of commands relevant to counting conferees.
Conferees can dial ** to hear a list of command options available to conferees. Only the participant who dials ** hears the relevant list of commands.

Procedure 20
Acquire/release chairperson control
1To acquire chairperson control, dial *51. The system reacts as follows:
•If another chairperson is present at the conference, the command fails. The system notifies the user and returns them to the meeting.
•If there is no active chairperson, the system prompts the user to enter the chairperson password for the meeting. If the password is correct, the user becomes the chairperson. If the password is incorrect, the system prompts the user to retry two more times. If the password is still incorrect, the command fails and the system returns the user to the meeting.
2To release chairperson control, dial *52. Only the chairperson uses this command. When activated, the chairperson becomes a regular conference
participant allowing someone else to acquire chairperson control.
