If you already are involved in a secure connection
with a party when you initiate a consultation call,
the original party is placed on hold. The new con-
sultation connection can be either secure or non-
secure. However, the first connection remains
secure even if all three parties are now joined to-
gether in a conference.

The entire conference is nonsecure if the con-
nection to at least one of the parties is not secure
(see also

page 14).

The relevant padlock icon appears on the "Confer-
ence" row.
