50 Enhanced phone functions
System-supported conference
You can include up to eight internal and external parties in a system-supported
conference. Parties with system phones can perform/use all of the functions list
-
ed below at the same time. ISDN phones and external parties are passive par-
ticipants – they can only be included in the current conference.
You can include parties and conferences from a remote system in your confer-
ence. The remote parties can establish and extend their own conference. Par-
ties in this conference are included in your current conference. However, they
cannot perform/use the functions listed below.

phones:
• Establishing a conference by calling a party, receiving a call, conducting a con-
sultation call or receiving a second call

neously.
