CREATING CONFERENCE CALLS
The system can accommodate eight, four-member (party)
conferences simultaneously. Conferences can include a maximum of
three outside lines, and any number of extensions, to a maximum of
four conference members.
One inside key telephone station is the controller of the conference
and constitutes one conference member. Before a conference can be
established with four members, a three-member conference must be
established first.
A Supervised Conference is a conference in which at least one
member is an extension of the DX-80/120 system. The DX-80/120
extension that establishes a conference is the conference controller,
and may add and/or delete members of the conference at any time.
The conference controller also has the privilege of establishing an
Unsupervised Conference.
An Unsupervised Conference is a conference in which only callers on
outside lines are members. All members are therefore outside of the
premises and connected together using the DX-80/120 conference
resource. An unsupervised conference may be re-joined by the
initiating DX-80/120 extension. However, that extension maintains
control of the conference even though it is unsupervised.
As the creator of a conference call, you have the ability to release a
participant from the call at any time (see “Conference Controller
Privileges” on page 53).
ESTABLISHING A SUPERVISED CONFERENCE CALL
Use this method if you are going to be one of the participants of the
conference call. You will be counted as one of the parties so you can
add two other members for a three-party conference or three other
members for a four-party conference.
To establish a three-party conference:
1) Answer or place the first call (internal or external).
2) Press Hold.
3) Place the second call (internal or external).
4) Press the feature button programmed as Conference.
• The system joins the connections together.
5) Hang up to end the conference.
