Making Conference Calls
Conference calling allows three or more parties to participate in a call
simultaneously. Your Cisco IP Phone can support several types of conference
calls
The following conference softkeys may be available on your phone:
• Confrn—Use this softkey to establish conferences (3-16 particpants) by
calling each participant individually. Standard conference calling is a default
feature.
• Join—Use this softkey to establish a conference (3-16 participants) among
several current calls on a single line. Standard conference calling is a default
feature available on most phones.
• MeetMe—Use this softkey to host a conference (up to 100 particpants,
depending on your configuration) Meet-Me conferences require participants to
call an established number at a specific time. This is an optional feature.
See "Starting or Joining a Meet-Me Conference Call" section on page 19 for
more details.
