[blantonwh]

I have been asked by supervisor if an option 51C will support meetme feature for conference calling.If so, How is that feature configured on the Meridian 51C.

Thanks very much

Option 51C is old and not supported any more, so the option for new hardware to add to the system is not there. IF and that's a big if, you can find something on the Grey market that will work on your 51 with the existing software, I will be very surprised. That leaves you using an external system, either in house with lines to it, or from a 3rd party vendor. Usually in each case, that will depend on what options you have to connect to them, do you have space and hardware to add a T-1/PRI to connect, or will you have to rely on the lines you already have in place?
Finding a Telco or 3rd party with the system you are comfortable with is the first step, then have a frank discussions with them on their requirements and the options you have for connectivity.
