Conference Bridge

Introduction

SECTION 1
WHAT IS THE MULTILINE CONFERENCE BRIDGE
The Multiline Conference Bridge provides a feature of the
Electra Elite 48 and 192 systems that allows any intercom
user or any outside party calling to a port of the CNF(8)-U10
ETU to enter a multiparty conference call. The CNF(8)-U10
ETU supports one 8-party conference or two 4-party
conferences controlled by a switch setting. DSP based
amplification provides a higher quality conference call.
This feature is available for all Electra Elite Multiline Terminals
and requires that the CNF(8)-U10 ETU be installed in the
Electra Elite KSU.
Two CNF(8)-U10 ETUs may be installed in the Electra Elite
