Telephone Operating Instructions
If no other conference is currently in effect, as many as 32 parties can be included in a
conference. Otherwise, only enough parties can be added to reach the 32-party system
limit. For example, if conferences in effect involve 28 parties, this conference can only
support 4 parties (32 minus 28).
To leave the conference:
❖ Hang up.
❖ The CONFERENCE HOLD button indicator changes to IDLE.
The conference will continue as long as there are three or more members and one
member is an inside party whose COS allows trunk-to-trunk transfer. When the last inside
member hangs up, the conference is terminated and any remaining outside parties are
disconnected.
To join an ongoing conference, refer to BREAK-IN or OVERRIDE.
To release a party from a conference (you must be the conference controller):
❖ Press the CANCEL button.
❖ The last party that was added to the conference will be released. The CONFERENCE
HOLD button indicator will continue to indicate ACTIVE as long as one station
remains in the conference.
To leave a conference:
❖ Hang up or press the RELEASE button.
❖ The CONFERENCE HOLD button indicator changes to IDLE.
If you are the controller of a regular conference or an executive override, or a member of
a Meet-Me Conference, you can use the Query Conference mode to scroll through the
members of the conference. The members' identities are displayed on the conference
line of your telephone's display. While in the Query Conference mode, you can select a
conference member and establish a private conversation with a selected member.
To scroll through the members:
❖ Press the QUERY CONFERENCE button. The button indicator changes to
ACTIVE.
❖ Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to scroll forward or backward through the
member list.
To drop a selected member from the conference while in the Query Conference mode:
❖ Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons until the member you want is displayed.
❖ Press the CANCEL button.
This method of dropping a member from a conference is especially useful when dropping
a trunk party. Without it, the trunk would remain in the conference until the clearing signal
made it back from the far end to the local PBX.
