Accept an Invitation
Organizers and invitees need to accept their invitations to participate in the
conference. The invitation carries all the critical information, including the PIN
number needed to join the call.

Manage a Call
Participants can call in 10 minutes early to join a call. Most will call close to the
scheduled time.
TELEPHONE IN TO THE CONFERENCE
1. Using a telephone, dial in to the
number provided on the invitation.
A voice says to enter the PIN.
2. Key in the PIN provided in the invitation
and then the # key.
Note: The caller can also key in their
mobile cell number, if it has been
provided in the caller profile.
A voice announces how many people
have called in so far. The first caller
then hears music. The line is open
once a second person has called in.
STUDY THE CALL DASHBOARD
3. In the Dashboard is not already
showing, click the Call name from the
Homepage. Under the Call Summary
heading is a display showing who has
called in.
The white phone icon on the left
means that the phone has not been
muted.
The orange phone icon means the
caller is connected.
Participate in a call
For ordinary participants the experience is much like taking part in any
conference call.
JOIN THE CALL
1. Dial in the number on the invitation.
A voice asks for the caller’s PIN number.
2. Key in the PIN and the # key.
A voice reports how many callers are already on-line.
3. Participate in the normal way. If the call organizer has muted the phones,
callers can speak up in two ways:
• Key in *2 to “raise your hand,” i.e., signal the call organizer that you
wish to speak. (Keying *2 again lowers the hand.)
• Key in *6 to unmute your phone and start speaking. (Keying *6
again mutes the phone)
Participants who have created their own Calliflower profiles can view the
call’s progress from their own Dashboards (without access to the
organizer’s controls), but it is not required.
4. When the conference is complete, disconnect.
