Bridge two conference lines together

I am new here so be kind. Anyway...my question is, can two locations with conference lines be able to link together? Here is the details. We have two offices connected together by way of a P2P for in house extension calling and voice mail. Each location has their own phone system using the IP406.

There is a conference line at each location. I want to create a unified conference line where the users in the south dial a short code or direct dial from an outside line and meet up with callers in the north who do the exact same thing. The reason for this is if all users dial into one or the other it uses up the available lines at the particular location. I figured that splitting the load between them would work. 10 people dial into the south conference line and 10 into the north conference line yet both lines lead to the same conference room across the P2P. South confrm600 and north confrm600 are both one and the same confrm600

Is this possible or is there a better way? Like take the north conference line 400 and take the south conference line 500 and make them talk to each other.
 
you can have a short code in the north of

code: *400
feature: dial
telephone: *400
Line Group: xxx(Line group of IP Line)

then in the south you need this shortcode

code: *400
feature: conference meet me
telephone: 400
line group: 0

if you have these two shortcodes you can dial *400 from either system and you will be on the same conference.
 
The only way to connect the two conference meet me zones from 2 systems is to have the conferences in progress splitting the load as you mentioned, then have one person in one conference do a personal conference and call into the other conference and conference them together. That would be considered as a personal conference. This person would be responsible for staying on till the end to keep the conferences connected.
 
SuperJenks is correct. To connect them together you need a user to conference them together with a personal conference.
