  • Extension user in S-Series PBX could dial the conference number to enter the conference. Follow the prompt to enter a password if the “Participant Password” is set.
  • After entering the conference, you can dial “#”, then dial the number you wish to invite.

For External Users

  • When you are in a conference, you can dial “#”, then dial an external number to invite the person.
