2. Click the call in the Call Monitor view.
3. Choose Actions > Conference. The Conference dialog box opens.
4. Select the second party for the conference call or enter a phone number

OK. See “Placing a call” on page 11-2 for more
information.
Note: If you have more than one active call when you choose the
Conference command, click the New Call tab in the Conference dialog
box to place the call.
When the call is answered, you are connected to the new party in a
separate call. The Conferencing dialog box opens giving you the option
of adding the party to the conference or not.

conference call.
