Items to Consider for Conference Calls
Once the conference call initiator disconnects, no new conferees can be added
When you place a call on hold, the other callers will hear KUMR radio playing in the background.
Consider using the mute instead of hold to avoid disrupting other callers.
To abandon the addition of a conferee, press the Line button.
IP Phones have a built-in conference call manager that can handle up to three parties simultaneously.
If you need four parties on a line, then the conference call is handled on the network call manager,
which can cause a slight lag if numerous conference calls are occurring simultaneously.
You can see a list of participants in the conference call by pressing the more soft key followed by the
ConfList soft key. The initiator of the conference call will be marked with an asterisk (*). You can
remove a conference caller while viewing the conference caller list by using the SCROLL key to
highlight their name and then pressing the Remove soft key.
Notes: To place a conference call on hold, press the Hold soft key (the other parties can talk among
themselves but they cannot hear you).
If you are using the Join soft key to create a conference call, all conferees must be on the same
line. You can use the Trnsfer soft key to transfer a call from one line to another and then add
them with the Join soft key.
To place a conference call on speakerphone, press the SPEAKER button.
To mute a conference call on speakerphone, press the MUTE button to turn off the microphone.
