Configuring a conference call
When you want to invite three or more callers to a call, you can configure 
a conference call using the IP Deskphone. The call server handles 
conference calls. You can join incoming calls to the conference call, or 
you can join calls that you initiate.
Note: 
 Your system administrator or service provider must enable 3-
way calling and conference calls for your IP Deskphone. Contact your 
service provider or system administrator to determine if this feature is 
available.
To configure a conference call while on an active call with more than 
one other caller:
When you receive a new call while on a conference call, you can answer, 
ignore, decline, or forward the call as you would any call. You can also 
initiate a new call while on a conference call in the normal way and return 
to the conference call after you complete the call. The conference call 
continues while you are on the other call.
Note: 
 If you press the 
Goodbye
 key or select 
Release
 from the 
Action menu while on the conference call you leave the conference 
call. The conference call continues with the other callers.
