The NEC DSX-40, DSX 80 and DSX 160 phone system can do a conference call with up to 8 members. This can be a combination of outside lines (up to the number of telephone lines you have from the phone company) and internal extensions. With the NEC phone system you can have a maximum of 8 simultaneous conferences.

To make a conference call on a NEC DSX-40, DSX-80 or DSX-160 telephone system:

While you are talking on an outside line or an intercom call:

1. Press the CONF button (bottom right of phone).
2. Press a line button, hotline button, dial an extension number or dial 9 followed by the telephone number you wish to add.
3. Press the CONF button to start the conference.
4. To add additional members repeat steps 1 – 3.

Incoming calls on a NEC DSX telephone system usually follow Key Ringing (3112).  The DSX 22B and 34B Display Phones can be programmed to ring or not ring on an individual basis by using the feature code # 7 2 5.   Press # 7 2 5 and you’ll notice that all of your line appearance buttons are now either red, green, or amber. 

• A red light means your phone will not ring (lamp only).
• Green means your phone will ring (standard).
• Flashing Green means a delay ring.
• Slow flashing green means night ring.

Press the line button repeatedly to cycle through the ring types.  Press the speaker button when you are finished.  If you press # 7 2 5 and do not see any lights on your phone you may be using loop keys instead of line keys and will need to enter system programming to make your phone ring.
