CENTRALIZED CONFERENCING (FOR SYLANTRO AND BROADSOFT
CALL MANAGERS)
The 6869i allows you to create multiple conferences with unlimited participants (depending on
your server limitations) when your Administrator enables centralized conferencing.
If your Administrator does not enable centralized conferencing, then the 6869i uses local
conferencing by default.
Your Administrator can configure centralized conferencing globally on all lines or on specific
lines. Although, for the global setting to work, you must configure the lines with the applicable
phone number.
