							Conferencing Calls
7.1 Conferencing Telephones Together
When your telephone is joined together with several other telephones
on the same call, the effect is called conferencing. You can make
conference calls that involve up to five parties, including you as the
originating party, in any combination of outside lines and intercom
parties. For example, you can conference three outside lines and two
intercom parties or four outside lines and one intercom party or five
intercom parties—the combinations are up to you.
If you are involved in a conference call with two outside lines, you can
drop out of this established conference call and leave the outside lines
in the conference with each other. This is known as an unsupervised
conference call.
NOTE: When setting up a conference call with outside lines and
internal telephones, you must call the outside lines first.
·To set up a conference call that includes both outside lines and
intercom parties, outside lines alone, or intercom
parties alone,

establishing a 5-party conference (including yourself).
