Conference calling

To create a conference call:

Establish the first call.
FLASH twice (wait one second between FLASHes) to place the call on hold.
Place a second call as you normally would.
Once connected to the second call, FLASH again to connect all of you together.

Notes:

To add an additional member to the conference, FLASH once and then repeat steps 3–4, above.

The number of members a single conference can contain varies by ESI system (and, in the case of the IP Server 900, type of conference). See the ESI public Web site’s comparison chart.

To remove or disconnect a conference you’re in, just hang up (disconnect).

To cancel adding someone to a conference, hang up if:

The phone is ringing the add-in member’s number.
The add-in member answers the call (you will have only the option to disconnect).
You’re routed to a voice mailbox (if it’s a station-to-station call).

In all cases, when the analog station disconnects to cancel the add-in member, the call will ring back and connect to the original station or outside line. You will be automatically reconnected to the existing conference when cancelling the addition of another member.

Note:

Once you FLASH twice to create a new conference, you can’t toggle between calls or transfer a connection. This is the same when adding the last possible member to an existing conference.
