+**Enabling the Conference Feature**\\
+To use the ring-u Conference Center feature, enable it on your customer portal under My Services > Conference for $9.95 per month. You can cancel at any time. Keep in mind that internal extensions, including softphones on your system but outside of your office, do not count as users/lines.  Only users dialing in from outside via your phone number count.\\

+**Configuration**\\
+{{ :conf_control.png?nolink&400|}}
+Once enabled, you can configure your 3 conference rooms' access codes on the conference page.\\
+While not required, we strongly recommend using a 4 digit access pin to help keep your conference secure.\\
+**Accessing the Conference**\\
+Callers enter a conference room via an IVR/Receptionist menu item or by direct dialing the conference room.\\
+A busy office may choose to have conference rooms available from their auto-attendant menu, but a receptionist can easily transfer callers to conference rooms by dialing 651, 652, or 653.\\
+Callers will be asked to enter their pin and say their name to announce their entry into the room.
+====Features====
+**User/Guest Functions**
+While in a conference, any user may use the following functions from their keypad:\\
+**1 - Mute** on/off.\\
+**2 - Leave Conference.** Or you can just hang up.\\
+**3 - Participant Count.** Announces how many other people are in the room.
+\\
+\\
+**Admin Functions**
+If you access the system as an Admin using 661, 662 or 663 and the admin PIN code for the room, you can also:\\
+**4 - MUTE** all non-admin's on/off. If you have more than one admin, they will not be muted.\\
+**5 - Eject** the last person that joined the conference from the room.
+**Sample Usage**\\
+The Acme Corporation is hosting a training session. They have made Conference Room 1 (651/661) menu option 6 on their receptionist menu.\\
+The presenters ask 5 people to call in at 10am and choose option 6, and use PIN 1234.\\
+The presenters dial 661 to enter the room as Admins a few minutes early with their PIN of 9234.\\
+After a little chit chat, the admins mute the room by pressing 4, and start their presentation.\\
+minutes later is Q&A time, so they press 4 to unmute everyone.\\
+Bob (not an admin), was the last person to join the meeting but the first to ask a question, and won't shut up after asking an off-topic, conspiracy-laden question.\\
+An admin dials 5 to kick him from the conference to get the conference back on track.\\
+They answer questions, talk about the news and say goodbye.\\
+Everyone hangs up, but not one to be silenced, Bob later sends an epic email with the rest of his ramble.\\
+\\
+If call recording was also enabled, the entire conference was recorded. Even Bob.
+//No actual Bob was injured in this example. Any resemblance to a real Bob is coincidental.//
