Solved: 4-way conference on VVX450

mgaudette · ‎03-20-2019

Hi,

I have a VVX450, firmware 5.9.1 (latest as of this post). I am looking to do a 4-way conference.

- I have feature.nWayConference.enabled="1"

- When I join the first two participants, I do have a "manage" button to mute participants (if I understand correctly, it means nWay is indeed enabled.

I just don't know how to add a third one. I do not get the "conf" option anymore at that point. What's the exact key sequence to add a fourth participant?

Hi @mgaudette,

once the first party picked up the call you should be able to presse the "More"-key and select the "Confrnc"-key. Use the the dial pad to enter the number of the third participant and press "send"-key. When partipant picks up the phone, again hit the "More"-key and again the "confrnc"-key. This should connect both calls to the wanted confernece call.

This is all good for a 3-way conference, but I'm looking for a 4-way conference. This is explicitely set in the provisioning files as an enabled feature.

The exact sequence (including what is missing) is:

- Call someone

- Press more than conf

- call the second party

- Once second party answers, press more and conf

- ???

We have have a three-way conference. How do I add an additionnal participant?

Thank you - dissapointing that Polycom removed such a feature from newer phones, but at least I'll stop finding a way to do something undoable.

N-way might be supported by your PBX (so N-way call is hosted on your PBX, not the phone), if it does - you'd need to enabled "network conferencing" by entering proper URL in the phone's config.

But yes, I agree that's a commonly asked question and I wish VVX phones were like 550s/650s in this way.
