Yealink SIP-T48U– Conference Calling

You can create a conference call on a T48U phone using either a local conference or a network conference function. The latter lets you exceed the phone's ten participants limit. 


A Network conference URL needs to be set up in advance using the web user interface. Speak to your phone system administrator about this and about using a network conference if the local conference is not sufficient for you.


Local Conference


You can create a conference with two other parties by dialing them or you can create a conference between an active call and a call on hold.


To set up a local conference call:


  • Place a call to the first party.

  • When the first party answers the call, tap the Conference soft key to place a new
    call.

  • When the second party answers the call, tap the Conference soft key again to join all parties in the conference.


To join two calls into a conference:


  • Place two calls using two different accounts on the phone (for example, place the first call using account 1, and then place the second call using account 2).

  • Tap the desired call to conference and ensure that the call is active (for example, tap the call on account 1).

  • Tap the Conference soft key to join the two calls in the conference on the selected account.

During the conference call, you can do the following:

  • Press    or tap the Hold soft key to place the conference call on hold.

  • Tap the Split soft key to split the conference call into two individual calls.

  • Tap   to remove the desired party.

  • Tap the EndCall soft key to drop the conference call.
