Overview
This article details the steps to make a conference call.
Use Dial-out Conferencing (Up to 4 users)
-
Dial users yourself and then push MORE until you can see CONF at the bottom.
-
Push CONF and you connect that person to a conference call.
-
Dial the next individual.
Use Call-in Conferencing (Up to 10 Users)
-
Have users call you (or a designated individual).
-
User pushes MORE until CONF appears at the bottom.
-
Push CONF to add the user to the CONF. However, a better way to do this is with a MEET ME conference.
Use Meet-Me Conferencing (Up to 15 users)
Note: All Meet Me conferences must be initiated inside the College network on a college IP phone.
-
Establish a conference number for each participant dial. The first is the campus number:
-
The next 2 digits are 19. The last two digits can be any 2 numbers you like. Make sure the participants know the number you created.
-
Pick up your phone or push the speaker phone button for a dial tone. Push MORE until you get MEETME at the bottom.
-
Push MEETME. It will ask for the number and then enter the 5-digit number you created.
-
Have the attendees call 703-323-2000, enter 1 for Meet Me and enter the 5-digit conference number. If they are inside the College, they can dial the 5-digits directly instead of the full long phone number 703-323-2000.
Note: There must be at least one participant on the conference call. If the last person on the conference call hangs up, the conference call will be terminated.
