Multi-party calls 

pil.gif How do I set up a conference call with a Konftel telephone?
If three parties wish to have a conference call, it can be done with the help of the three party conference call function in the telephone network/PBX. If more than three parties are to engage in the conference call, you can use a conference call service provided by a service provider.

pil.gif How do I connect a conference call with my Konftel 100, 200, 200W or 200NI? 
Do as follows:
* Call the first participant. Wait for an answer.
* Then press R (F in America) and wait for a new dialling tone.
* Call the second participant. Wait for an answer.
* Press R (F in America) then 3. Three participants are now connected in a conference call.

To connect more than 3 participants (provided that the PBX supports it) continue as follows:
* Press R (F in America) again. Wait for a new dialling tone.
* Call the next participant. Wait for an answer.
* Finish with R (F in America) followed by 3.
Repeat this for as many participants as the PBX supports.
Note that 3-party calls do not work with certain PBX's.

1. Your PBX does not support mulipart calls. Contact your PBX reseller for upgrading.
2. Your PBX needs another command than R3 to connect more parties, read the table below. Note that the commands can differ due to settings in the PBX

First connect the conference call with your system telephone. Turn on the Konftel when all parties are connected.
