Conference Calls

CPC-96, CPC-288, and CPC-576 Version 2.0
Description
Conference Calls allow you to add another party to an existing conversation. With the standard
system configuration, up to 3 parties can be included in a conference call at any one time. If the
optional Conference Card is installed, additional parties up to a total of 8 can participate in a
conference call.
The Version 2 software release allows any combination of extensions and CO lines be in the
conference as long as the original extension is in the conference and the total number of parties does
not exceed 8. With Version 2 software, only one operation is used to establish and add to a conference.
You simply have to place the current call on hold, dial the next party and press the CONF key. No
different operation or access code is required to add additional parties to the call.
When no optional conference card is installed, the system supports the following types of three-party

conference calls:

• 3 extensions
• 2 extensions and 1 CO line
• 1 extension and 2 CO lines
Operation
To establish a conference call:
1. While on a call, press the HOLD key or the line key of your
current call.
2. If adding an outside party, dial a trunk access code.
3. Dial the number of the party you wish to add to the call.
4. Press the CONF key when your call is answered.
