Conducting a conference
In a system-assisted conference you can include up to 8 internal and external
users. Users with system telephones can execute and/or use all functions listed
below at the same time. ISDN telephones and external users are passive users
and can only be added to the current conference.
You can include users and conferences from a remote system in your own con-
ference. The remote users can set up a conference of their own and extend it.

they cannot perform or use the following functions.
The following functions are supported for all conference members with a system
telephone:
• Setting up a conference when calling a user or receiving a call or making a
consultation call or receiving a second call.
• Accepting a waiting call and including the caller in the conference.

ence.
• Interconnecting conference members from two independent conferences via
