Place a phone call
When the Polycom CX5000 device is on-hook (the On/Off hook button
glows orange),
you can use the LCD dial pad or external dial pad to enter the number, and then press the
On/Off hook button to dial the call.
When the device is off-hook (the On/Off hook button
glows green), the Polycom
CX5000 device dials the call after you enter the last digit of the number.
Answer an incoming phone call

Conference calls
You can dial directly into a conference or, if necessary, dial into a conference bridge that
facilitates telephone conferencing.
If your conference requires connecting to a conference bridge, dial the conference bridge
phone number on the Polycom CX5000 keypad using the on-hook or off-hook methods
described previously. After connecting to the conference bridge, follow the prompts for
entering the conference ID and password. At any time during the conference, you can
suspend audio transmission using your Polycom CX5000 device.
Three-way calls
When you need to interrupt an existing conference call to call someone who, for example,
might have an answer to a question or advice for a situation, you can place a three-way
call. The conference call is temporarily suspended while you call the third party. You can
choose to join the third party to the conference call, or you can end the call with the third
party and rejoin the conference call.
Note
You must use a phone system that supports multiple phone lines to place
conference calls.
