How do I initiate a 3-way call with an ATA

Three-Way Ad-Hoc Conference Calling?
Service DescriptionThis feature allows the user to conference up to two other numbers on the same line to create a three-way call.
User Action Required to Activate or UseIf you are already on a call and wish to add a third party:
  • Press the switch hook or flash button.
  • Listen for dial tone.
  • Dial the third party normally.
  • When the third party number starts to ring press the switch hook or flash button again.
You now have the original caller and the third party together with you on the same call.

If you want to initiate a new Three Way Call:
  • Call the first party in the normal manner.
  • Follow the directions for adding a third party.
(see instructions above).
Expected Call and Network BehaviorThe SPA can host a 3-way conference and perform 3-way audio mixing (without the need of an external conference bridge device or service).

If you also have Call Transfer you can also hang up at any time to transfer the original caller to the third party.
