Adding a Recipient to
an Existing
Conference
While participating in a conference of three to five people, any recipient
in the conference can add a new recipient. While a new recipient is being
added, the existing recipients in the conference, including the originator,
are still able to communicate, but there is no ring back tone associated
with the new recipient. If a party other than the originator adds a new
recipient, then a cascaded conference is formed. The process to add a
recipient is identical to
Setting up an Unannounced Conference or Setting
up an Announced Conference .
Creating a Cascaded
Conference
Once you establish a conference, anyone in the conference, excluding the
originator, can create a cascaded conference by initiating a conference
call to another party or parties. Those parties in turn can initiate another
cascaded conference. For example, telephone P1 (originator) calls
telephones P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6 to establish a 6-party conference (called
C1). Telephone P3 then calls telephones P7 and P8. Telephone P3 creates
a cascaded conference and is the originator of a 3-party conference
(called C2). Conference C2 is now cascaded with C1. Telephone P8 then
calls P9 to create conference C3 and is cascaded with C2. Cascading can
continue until the maximum number of ports on the conference server
has been reached.
Dropping Conference
Recipients
Once a conference has been established, the conference originator can
either drop the last party added to the conference or drop the entire
conference that the originator initiated. In the example above, if P1 the
originator of conference 1 drops
All , only P1, P2, P4, P5 and P6 are
dropped. P3 is not dropped because it is the originator of conference 2
and remains connected to conference 2.
