To set up an Ad-hoc multiparty conference call
1 Complete the procedure for the 3-party conference call.
2 The conference master enters FEATURE 807 or presses the NEWCALL softkey.
The conference is placed on hold.
3 Dial the fourth party number.
The fourth party answers the call.
4 The conference master enters FEATURE 3 to create an ad-hoc multiparty conference.
Note: A conference participant can also add parties to the conference by
placing the conference on hold and calling a fourth party on a free
intercom key. The fourth caller is placed into conference when the
participant enters FEATURE 3. The participant placing that call is then
a conference master for an ad-hoc multiparty conference
Note: This procedure can be repeated to include up to 64 conferencees.
Other conference features:
• Remove yourself from the conference permanently: FEATURE 70.
Note: The other two callers remain connected. (Some external lines may
not support this feature. Ask your System Administrator.)
Note: For FEATURE 70 to work, at least one of the calls must be
incoming.
• Put the conference on hold at one telephone: Press HOLD.
Note: The other two callers can continue to talk to each other.
• Split a conference: Press the line, or intercom button, of one caller to consult privately while
the other caller is on hold.
Re-establish the conference: Press FEATURE 3, and select the held line.
• Disconnect one party:
a Press the line, or intercom button, of the caller you want to disconnect, then press RLS.
b Press the line, or intercom button, of the remaining caller to resume your conversation.
• Independently hold two calls: Press the line or intercom button of the first caller, then press
HOLD. The second caller is put on hold automatically.
Re-establish the call: Press the line or intercom button to retrieve one call from hold, press
FEATURE 3, then retrieve the second call from hold.
• Release privacy to create a conference call:
With a line programmed with privacy, you can turn privacy off to allow another person with
the same line to join in your conversation to form a conference. All the rules for a conference
apply; however, there is one line in use, instead of the normal two. This means that you cannot
split a conference using Privacy.
a Press FEATURE 83.
b Tell the other person to press the line button and join your conversation.
Note: Only two BCM telephones and the external caller can take part in
this kind of conference.
