If the recipient does not want to take the call, hang up the second call 
and go back to the first call by pressing the Hold button for that call.
Adding a Recipient to
an Existing
Conference
While participating in a conference of three to five people, any recipient 
in the conference can add a new recipient. While a new recipient is being 
added, the existing recipients in the conference, including the originator, 
are still able to communicate, but there is no ring back tone associated 
with the new recipient. If a party other than the originator adds a new 
recipient, then a cascaded conference is formed. The process to add a 
recipient is identical to 
.
Creating a Cascaded
Conference
Once you establish a conference, anyone in the conference, excluding the 
originator, can create a cascaded conference by initiating a conference 
call to another party or parties. Those parties in turn can initiate another 
cascaded conference. For example, phone P1 (originator) calls phones P2, 
P3, P4, P5 and P6 to establish a 6-party conference (called C1). Phone P3 
then calls phones P7 and P8. Phone P3 creates a cascaded conference 
and is the originator of a 3-party conference (called C2). Conference C2 is 
now cascaded with C1. Phone P8 then calls P9 to create conference C3 
and is cascaded with C2. Cascading can continue until the maximum 
number of ports on the conference server has been reached.
Dropping Conference
Recipients
Once a conference has been established, the conference originator can 
either drop the last party added to the conference or drop the entire 
conference that the originator initiated. In the example above, if P1 the 
originator of conference 1 drops All, only P1, P2, P4, P5 and P6 are 
dropped. P3 is not dropped because it is the originator of conference 2 
and remains connected to conference 2.
