Local Conferencing Added on the 51i IP Phone
Previous to Release 2.3.1, the 51i IP Phone supported server-side conferencing only. The 51i
now supports local 3-way conferencing as described below.

When you use the Conference key (DOWN Arrow) to initiate a conference call, the following
screen displays.
In a conference call, the call timer moves to the left. You use the up and down arrow keys to
scroll to a party on the list. You use the right arrow key to select the party to drop.
Local Conferencing
The 51i phone supports up to 3 parties (including yourself) in a conference call. This is called
Local Conferencing and is the default method of conferencing on the 51i.
Using Local Conferencing
Use the following procedure to create a conference call using local conferencing. Use the
following illustration as a reference.

(SRTP) (which is RTP encryption) on the 51i, it disables the ability of the
