Description
During a 2-party conversation, an extension user can add a third party to the conversation, thereby
establishing a 3-party conference call.
Conditions
• Conference call arrangement
The following configurations of 3-party conference calls are possible:
– One extension and 2 outside parties
– 2 extensions and one outside party
– 3 extensions
• Conference Button
On a proprietary telephone (PT) that does not have a CONF (Conference) button, a flexible CO button
can be customized as a Conference button.
• Consultation Hold
When an extension user tries to establish a conference call, the current call is automatically placed on
consultation hold until the conference is established (
1.1.36 Consultation Hold).
• A confirmation tone will be sent to all parties when a 2-party conference call is changed to a 3-party
conference call. It is possible to eliminate the tone through system programming ( [105] Conference
Tone).
• A 3-party conference call can also be established by Executive Busy Override.
