Alcatel-Lucent Advanced Conference Calls
When you are registered with the Alcatel-Lucent CTS on your VVX phone, you can initiate impromptu audio
conference calls with two or more contacts from your phone. You can also create a participant list and
manage conference participants. You can manage a maximum of 24 advanced conference calls at a time
on your phone, if enabled on the server. However, you can have only one active conference call in progress

This feature is not supported on VVX 101, 201, and 1500 phones. Check with your system administrator to
