Note:   
•  If the device houses three MPMs or more, no other telephony interface module 
can be installed in the device. 
•  Instead of using the flash-hook button to establish a three-way conference call, 
you can dial a user-defined hook-flash code (e.g., "*1"), configured by the 
HookFlashCode parameter. 
•  Three-way conferencing is applicable only to FXS and BRI interfaces. 
•  Three-way conferencing support for the BRI phones connected to the device 
complies with ETS 300 185. 
 
The following example demonstrates three-way conferencing using the device's local, on-
board conferencing feature. In the example, telephone "A" connected to the device 
establishes a three-way conference call with two remote IP phones, "B" and "C": 
1.  A establishes a regular call with B. 
2.  A places B on hold, by pressing the telephone's flash-hook button and the number "1" 
key. 
3.  A hears a dial tone and then makes a call to C. 
4.  C answers the call. 
5.  A establishes a three-way conference call with B and C, by pressing the flash-hook 
button and the number "3" key. 
  To configure three-way conferencing: 
1.  Open the Supplementary Services Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media 
tab > Gateway folder > DTMF & Supplementary >   Supplementary Services
