Campus Phone System Conference Calling Feature (Staff/Faculty)
 
 

Overview/Description

The campus telephone system for staff and faculty, includes a conference calling feature that lets you talk to multiple parties at the same time. With this custom calling feature, business can be conducted with up to eight participants (including yourself) using a single conference call.

Please note: You can have no more than eight people on a single conference call with no more than five of the eight individuals being from off campus.

How It Works (On Campus Analog Phones or Conference Phones)

To form a Conference when a two-party call is already in place, or to add another party to an existing Conference:

  1. Let your existing caller(s) know that you will be placing them on hold until another party is added to the conference.
  2. Press the receiver-disconnect or FLASH button to place them on hold. You should have another dialtone.
  3. Dial the number of the next party and wait for an answer. Tell them they will be placed on hold temporarily.
  4. Press the receiver-disconnect or FLASH button to place the new party on hold. You should have another dialtone.
  5. Dial the Conference Call Feature access code *54 to add the new party to the conference call.
