Exiting a Conference
There are several options for leaving the conference:
•
Exit the conference by hanging up. The other parties remain connected only if at least
one is the endpoint of an inside party. You cannot return to the conference. If there are
no inside party endpoints remaining in the conference, it is disconnected.
•
Leave the conference and allow the outside parties to remain connected by pressing the
button or entering the Conference feature code. You can return to the confer-
ence at any time.
•
End the conference and place all of the parties on individual hold. You can return to the
parties one at a time.
•
Place the entire conference on hold. The conferenced parties remain connected.
NOTE
If the number of parties in your conference exceeds the capacities of the system
resources, you will hear reorder tone and see a display that tells you MAX NUM-
BER OF PARTIES EXCEEDED. To complete the conference setup, return to the
parties on conference wait hold one by one (Inter-Tel endpoint users press the
associated Call or button, single line endpoint users enter the Individual
Hold feature code twice) and release parties until there are fewer than the maxi-
mum. Then repeat step 5 to connect the conference.

NOTE
Parties cannot be added when the maximum number of participants has been
