2. If you did not select the conference party that is giving busy
tone, reenter the conference by pressing the CONF key.

Hardware Requirements
• A Conference Card (VB-44120) must be installed in the System in order to conference more than
three parties.
Related Programming
• FF1-0-03: Extension COS (8-Party Conference)
• FF3: Extension COS
Considerations
• **If all the internal parties hang up, the conference call will be disconnected. If the internal party
remains in the conversation, the conference call remains in progress.
• When three parties are conferenced, a built-in 3-party conference circuit is used. If no 3-party
conference circuit is available, a conference cannot be established.
• When a fourth party is added, the conference is moved to a conference circuit on the 8-party
conference card. If an 8-party conference circuit is not available, a fourth party cannot be added
to a conference.
• Once an 8-party conference circuit is used, it continues to be used as long as the conference
continues.
• An 8-party conference card supports up to four 8-party conference circuits. However, the card
must be placed in cabinet slots 1, 5, or 9 to support more than one 8-party conference circuit (and
jumpered accordingly).

Directory Numbers

Description
A Directory Number (DN) allows extension numbers to be used on a key basis. The same DN may be
assigned to multiple keys on the same telephone and to keys on other telephones.
When a telephone's extension number is assigned to a key on the same telephone, it is considered a
Primary Directory Number (PDN). Up to three appearances of the PDN may be assigned to keys on a
key telephone. This allows for multiple calls on the same DN.
When a DN is assigned to an FF key on another telephone, it is considered a Non-Primary Directory
Number (NPDN). Up to three NPDN appearances of the same DN may be assigned to keys on a
telephone. This allows calls to the DN to appear on multiple telephones. The calls ring in on a
specified basis - immediate, delayed, or no-ring.
A telephone may only have one PDN (on up to three keys) but may have multiple NPDNs with up to
three appearances of any one NPDN.
