Note: If the conference feature (106) is not programmed on the line, please submit a Telephone Service Form (TSR).

To make a 6-way conference call on an ANALOG device such as a Polycom or analog phone set:

1. Press the speaker button or lift the handset to get dial tone

2. Dial 106 and listen for a "stuttered" dial tone, then a steady dial tone

3. Dial the first number or person for the conference, once answered, push the flash button (for Polycom) or the switch-hook (for a regular phone) to add the person to the conference call

4. Press flash again to get another dial tone, (existing parties are automatically placed on hold). Dial the next number or person, and press flash to add them to the conference call

5. Repeat step 4 to add up to 5 people to the conference call, the originator of the conference will be the sixth caller
