Chapter 14: Conferencing
The telephone system supports multiple conference calls, with additional parties addable to any
conference call until the system's conference capacity is reached. A maximum of 64 parties in any
particular conference call is supported.
• If you are the only internal user in the conference, depending on your telephone system's
configuration, dropping yourself might end the conference. Consult your system administrator
for details.
• On J159 telephones, in addition to the Conf soft key, conference functions can be accessed
using the key.
