You must use a phone system that supports multiple phone lines to place

conference calls.

To place a phone conference call to a conference bridge

1. Press the On/Off hook button and listen for the dial-tone. The green LED status lights will

light.

2. Enter the conference bridge phone number using the LCD dialing pad. The numbers appear in the

phone number field.

3. Upon entry of the final digit, the Polycom CX5000 device will dial the number and place the call.

4. Enter the required conference call information (for example, conference ID and password) to enter

the conference call.

Three-way calls

A three-way call is when you need to interrupt an existing conference call to call someone who might

have an answer to a question or advice for a situation. In this case, the conference call is temporarily

suspended and a third party is called but not joined to the conference. After the three-way call is

placed, the third party rings off and the conference call is reinstated.

Call waiting

During an existing conference call, someone may call into the conference, resulting in a call-waiting

tone broadcast from the Polycom CX5000 device speaker. This could be someone wanting to join the

conference, or simply someone with a quick question or relevant piece of information. You can accept

the call and get back to your conference quickly by using call waiting. Or, you can choose to ignore

the call and continue with your conference.
