See the parameters in the table Create Local and Centralized Conferences to set up a conference type
and the options available for each type of conference. You can specify whether, when the host of a three-
party local conference leaves the conference, the other two parties remain connected or disconnected. If
you want the other two parties remain connected, the phone will perform a transfer to keep the remaining
parties connected. If the host of four-party local conference leaves the conference, all parties are
disconnected and the conference call ends. If the host of a centralized conference leaves the conference,
each remaining party remains connected. For more ways to manage conference calls, see Enable
Conference Management.
