caller to a 3-way call, you must initiate a conference call with the server and join all
callers to the conference call.
• If the host of a 3-way call presses the hold button, all callers in the 3-way call are put
on hold.
• If the host of a 3-way call presses the
Goodbye
fixed key or selects
Release Call
from
the Action menu, all calls in the 3-way call are terminated.
Configuring a conference call
When you want to invite three or more callers to a call, you can configure a conference call
using the IP Deskphone. The call server handles conference calls. You can join incoming calls
to the conference call, or you can join calls that you initiate.
Note:
Your system administrator or service provider must enable 3-way calling and conference
calls for your IP Deskphone. Contact your service provider or system administrator to
determine if this feature is available.
To configure a conference call while on an active call with more than one other
caller:
1. Press the
Up/Down
navigation key to highlight one
of the calls.
2. Press the
Join
context-sensitive soft key and select
Conference
from the menu.
The calls are joined together as a conference call on
the call server.
When you receive a new call while on a conference call, you can answer, ignore, decline, or
forward the call as you would any call. You can also initiate a new call while on a conference
call in the normal way and return to the conference call after you complete the call. The
conference call continues while you are on the other call.
Note:
If you press the
Goodbye
key or select
Release
from the Action menu while on the
conference call, you leave the conference call. The conference call continues with the other
callers.
