CONFERENCING CALLS
The 6863i 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 6863i 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 6863i.
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
4Drop key to drop a selected party and the 3 Leave key to leave the conference.
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.
4. Press the programmed Conference key.
5. Enter the phone number of Party 3.
Note: Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speed dial a specific
number. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
