I need a card for conference calls. where can i get one and for how much.

Conference calling is required in any company with a branch located either domestically or internationally. It's quite normal to get on the conference calling with teams from other branches, partner firms, or even clients on a weekly basis. A good conference call service is the one that understands your company's requirements and acts on it diligently to provide crystal clear call quality and also offers you flexible payment plans.

On top of the calling facility, a conference call equipment needs to have some very essential features, some of which include- mute/un-mute, local dial-in number, anytime conference, start without host, chairperson dial control, roll call security, chairperson or guest PIN security, etc.

Such a calling facility in India is provided by Reliance MindBridge which is the leader in telecommunication in the country and offers fantastic deals for businesses needing conference call service to 230 countries and territories all over the world.

While on a call, press conference or transfer button(will put first call on temporary hold). Make call to next party, talk to party, press conference button to join all callers. Same procedure to add more parties up to 8 total.

Also, if you use transfer button to start conference call you can use transfer button to join all parties.
If you use conference button to start conference call use conference button to join all parties.

I'm assuming you are using this on a 3300 ICP. In that case, the phone system is only able to do 8 party conference calls without an external Conference server.
You can dial the first number, press the flash button, dial the next number, dial the feature code (get from your vendor), repeat until you have all parties as part of the call.

The 5310 IP conference unit works much easier than this phone. A conference bridge such as Audio Web Conference with the appropriate licensing will allow for extended conference calls... it will also allow you to record the call for later "off-air" participation.

Once you receive your first call Press conference button. your first call will automaticaly be on hold. Press a line button to dial second number. Once call is connected Press conference button and you will have 3 way conference.
To add more PeoPle into conference Press conference button again and select a new line. Dial the number and Press conference button to connect everyone to that conference.

Conference call is not a feature of the phone, but a feature of the telephone system in the company. Usually you press a sequence of keys like flash #02 to trigger this function in the phone system. If your company phone system does not offer the feature then you have to use an external conference call provider.

You need to buy a Computer Calling Kit from Polycom. That is essentially a cable with a 2.5mm connector to the Polycom Soundstation 2W on one end and two 3.5 mm connectors to the PC Sound card end (one to the Microphone port and the other to the Speakers port).

sounds strange, it lookslike a main board problem, considering that u have been using similar unit before.there is not much that u can do from the menu options.u will have to refer ur vendor for rpairs
