Conferencing Calls
The 6865i IP phone has a dedicated
Conference
key. You can use this hard key to create conference calls.
The 6865i IP phone offers two methods of conferencing:
•
Local conferencing (default method).
•
Centralized conferencing (for Sylantro and BroadSoft call managers - Administrator must enable this method).
Local Conferencing
The 6865i phone supports up to 3 parties (including yourself ) in a conference call. This is called Local Conferencing and is
the default method of conferencing on the 6865i.
The following screen illustrates a connected local conference screen:
In a local conference call, you use the up and down arrow keys to scroll to a party on the list, the

selected party and the

Using Local Conferencing
