  1. Two participants must be connected to the conference bridge in order for the conference to be activated. If only one participant is connected to the bridge, they will continue to get a ring no answer until another participant joins the call.

  2. The maximum number of conference participants allowed on a call is 26.

  3. At least one conference participant must be be calling from a MTU number. That participant must stay connected to the bridge for the duration of the call, otherwise, the bridge will disconnect the conference call.

  2. Select some one to be the call moderator.

  3. The moderator shall coordinate with another particpant to call the bridge number at least five minutes before the actual conference call is scheduled to begin.

  4. Wait for all scheduled participants to call in. A brief tone will be heard when any new caller enters the conference. The moderator shall introduce him/herself to the new callers and ask for the name of the caller.

  5. When all conferees are connected, the moderator will:

    • Introduce him/herself again as the call moderator.

    • Take a quick roll call to be sure all participants are connected.

    • Inform the participants to be polite, speak in order, and let the moderator control the call unless control is handed off to another participant.
