CONFERENCING CALLS
You can use the
Conf
softkey offered on screen when in a connected call to create conference
calls or use a softkey configured with Conference functionality (see “Conference Key” on
page 139).
The 6873i IP phone offers two methods of conferencing:
•
Local conferencing (default method).
•
Centralized conferencing (for Sylantro and BroadSoft call managers - Administrators must
enable this method).
LOCAL CONFERENCING
The 6873i phone supports up to three parties (including yourself) in a conference call. This is
called local conferencing and is the default method of conferencing on the 6873i.
Creating a Conference Call Using Local Conferencing
Use the following procedure to create a conference call using local conferencing.
1.
When you begin a conference, you are the first party in the conference (Party 1). Pickup
the handset or press the
key. A line opens up.
2.
Call Party 2 by dialing their number (or answer an incoming call of a party).
3.
Wait for Party 2 to answer. When Party 2 answers, you can consult with them before adding
them to the conference.
Note:
Your System Administrator can set your
Conference
key to speed dial a specific
number. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
