MAKING CONFERENCE CALLS

Your Cisco IP Phone allows you to join three or more people into one telephone conversation, creating a conference call

STANDARD CONFERENCE CALLS

In standard (or "ad hoc") conference calls, the conference organizer must call participants to add them to the conference. Using your

Cisco IP Phone, you can create standard conference calls in different ways, depending on your needs and your phone's configuration:

• Confrn—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference by calling each participant. Standard conference calling is a default

feature available on most phones.

• Join—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference among several calls already on one line.

If you initiated the conference call, hanging up might end the conference (depending on how your system administrator configured your
