The Conference Leader's role is to control the conference by advertising its timing, locking in participants, and terminating the conference. Once the conference time has been advertised to all participants, the conference leader begins by dialing extension 1600, thereby becoming the conference leader. Through this call, the conference leader's connection to the conference is established. Outside parties can be transferred into the conference, either by the switchboard or through any user on campus who is not one of the conference participants. To do this, call the outside party, transfer them to extension 1819, then hang up.
Individuals can release from the conference circuit at any time by merely hanging up.
The remaining conferees may continue without interruption.
