The supplementary services described in this section can be used with both the
H.323 and SIP signaling protocols. Available services and their configuration and
implementation depend on the country system you are using.
3-way calling works slightly differently on Swedish and U.S. systems.
For U.S. configurations, follow these steps to make a conference call:
Dial the first number.
When the person you called answers, perform a "hook flash"; that is, hang up
quickly and pick up the phone quickly. This will put the first person you called on
hold and you will hear a dial tone.
Dial the second person and speak normally when that person answers.
To conference with both callers at the same time, perform a hook flash and press
3 on the telephone handset.
To drop the second call, perform a hook flash.
(Optional) To conference in additional callers, the last person called with a
Cisco ATA 186 can call an additional person, and so on. This is known as
"daisy-chaining."
For Swedish configurations, follow these steps to make a conference call:
Dial the first number.
When the person you called answers, perform a "hook flash"; that is, hang up
quickly and pick up the phone quickly. This will put the first person you called on
hold and you will hear a dial tone.
