System-based conference
This type of conference is also referred to as a large conference. It can include
from three up to a maximum of 16 parties (depending on the configuration in
OpenScape Voice).
Prerequisite: You are conducting a consultation call ïƒ Page 47 or you have ac-
cepted a second call ïƒ Page 86, and the "System conference" feature was con-
figured by your administrator.
Establishing a conference
Select and confirm the option shown in the connection’s context menu. You are
connected to the first two parties at once. The conference is displayed with the
current participants. You can now:
• initiate a consultation call
• put the conference on hold
• leave the conference.
Conducting a consultation call
Select and confirm the option shown in the "Conference" context menu. If the
party answers, you can:
• toggle between the party and the conference
• connect the consultation call to another called party
• end the consultation call and return to the conference
• add the consultation call party to the conference.
If you intend to include the consultation call party in the conference, you
can also use the "Add to conference" option instead of the "Consultation"
option.
If you want to use a call list or one of the phonebooks for the consultation
call, select Hold instead of Consult (or Add to conference) in the context
menu and/or press the Hold key and then open a required call list
(
ïƒ Page 112) or one of the phonebooks (ïƒ Page 105/ïƒ Page 108).
Alternatively you can also open a call list or a phonebook without using the
Hold functions – the conference is automatically placed on Hold.
