6. Conference Calls
Multiple conference calls are supported, with parties addable to each conference call until the system's total conference
capacity (128) is reached. However, a maximum of 64 parties is supported in any particular conference call.
Conference resources are also used for call recording and other features, reducing the available conference capacity for
ordinary conference calls.
Note that some conference controls, for example dropping other parties, only apply for conferences started on the same
phone system as your extension.
Default Short Codes
Short codes are numbers that you can dial from any types of phone on the telephone system. The following are
default short codes that may be available on your system.
