Conference controller
The conference controller can call each of the conference participants individually
using the refer-back function. When the connection has been established, the
controller can then connect them to the conference. Alternatively, the controller can
have several subscribers on hold first and then connect the waiting connections into
the conference one after another.

automatically included in the conference.
If the controller receives calls during the multiple conference, he can include these
in conference by selecting
