party C (the third party). In this case, party B and party C will begin a new call and party A will disconnect.
The table
Use Call Transfer
shows you how to specify call transfer behavior.
You can perform two types of call transfers:
●
Blind Transfer
Party A transfers the call without speaking to party C.
●
Consultative Transfer
Party A speaks to party C before party A transfers the call.
By d
efault, a Transfer soft key will display when party A calls Party C and Party C’s phone is
ringing, the proceeding state. In this case, party A has the option to complete the transfer before
party C answers, which ends party A’s connection to party B and C. You can disable this option so
that the Transfer soft key does not display during the proceeding state. In this case, party A can
either wait until party C answers or press the Cancel soft key and return to the original call.

Example Call Transfer Configuration
In the following example configuration, the parameter
allowTransferOnProceeding
has been
disabled so that the Transfer soft key will not display while the third-party phone is ringing, the proceeding
state. Once you have connected to the third-party, the Transfer soft key will display. If the third-party does
not answer, you can press the Cancel soft key to return to the active call.
Create Local and Centralized Conferences
You can set up local or centralized conferences. Local conferences require a host phone, which
processes the audio of all parties. All phones support three-party local conferencing. Alternatively, you
can use an external audio bridge, available via a central server, to create a centralized conference call.
Polycom recommends using centralized conferencing to host four-party conferences, though some
phones do enable to host four-party conferences locally.
