resources, you will hear reorder tone and see a display that tells you MAX NUMBER OF PAR-
TIES EXCEEDED. To complete the conference setup, return to the parties on conference wait
hold one by one and release parties until there are fewer than the maximum. Then repeat step 5
to connect the conference.
