To connect all waiting parties in the conference with a single line endpoint: When all par-
ties are on conference hold, hookflash [recall], and enter the Conference feature code (5). All
parties are connected
If the number of parties in your conference exceeds the capacities of the system resources, you will hear
reorder tone and on display endpoints see
MAX NUMBER OF PARTIES EXCEEDED. To com-
plete the conference setup, return to the parties on conference hold. Release parties one-by-one until
fewer than the maximum remain on the conference. To release parties from Inter-Tel endpoints, press the
associated Call or button; from single line endpoints, enter the Individual Hold feature code (5)
twice. When the maximum number is no longer exceeded, repeat step 4 above to connect the conference.

Exiting a Conference
There are several options for leaving the conference:
• Exit the conference by hanging up. The other parties remain connected only if at least
one is the endpoint of an inside party. You cannot return to the conference. If there are
no inside party endpoints remaining in the conference, it is disconnected.
• Leave the conference and allow the outside parties to remain connected by pressing the
button or entering the Conference feature code. You can return to the confer-
ence at any time.
• End the conference and place all of the parties on individual hold. You can return to the
parties one at a time.
• Place the entire conference on hold. The conferenced parties remain connected.
If a user attempts to place a conference call on system hold, the conference will be placed on
individual hold.
