Conference Calls Using Strata CTX
Conference Calls Using Strata CTX
You can conference together up to eight parties (including your own) - with up to six parties being external CO or network lines. The actual number of conference parties with acceptable volume levels depends on the local and far end telephone line conditions.
The person who initiates the conference call is the Master. If, after the conference is established and the Master exits the conference, the first station to have been added to the conference becomes the Master. If no other internal stations are included in the conference call, the call is disconnected.

2.Call another station or outside line.
3.When the called party answers, press Cnf/Trn. If you receive a busy tone or no answer, press Cnf/Trn again to return to the original connection. All parties are conferenced.
4.Repeat the above steps to add lines to the conference. Keep in mind the maximum number of allowed conference parties.
