Step by step

System-based conference

This type of conference is also referred to as a large con-
ference. It can include up to ten parties.

Prerequisite: You are conducting a consultation call

page 34 or you have accepted a second call
page 68, and the "System conference" feature was

configured by your administrator.

Establishing a conference

Select and confirm the option shown in the connec-
tion’s context menu. You are connected to the first two
parties at once. The conference is displayed with the
current participants. You can now:

initiate a consultation call

add a party

put the conference on hold

leave the conference.

Conducting a consultation call

Select and confirm the option shown in the "Confer-
ence" context menu. If the party answers, you can:

toggle between the party and the conference

connect the consultation call to another called party

end the consultation call and return to the confer-
ence

add the consultation call party to the conference.

Conference?

Consultation?

If you want to add the consultation parties to the
conference, use the "Hinzufügen zu Konferenz"
option instead of the "Consultation" option.

If you want to use the

phonebook or a call list

for a consultation call, select

Hold instead of

Consult (and/or Hinzufügen zu Konferenz) in the
context menu or press the

Hold key and then

open the phonebook or a required call list
(

page 87).

Alternatively you can select the phonebook or a
call list without using the

Hold functions - the

conference call is automatically placed on

Hold.
