Handling Calls
Conferencing Calls
The 53i IP phone offers two methods of conferencing:
• Local conferencing (default method).
• Centralized conferencing (for Sylantro and Broadsoft Servers) (Administrator
must enable this method).
By default, the Conference key is Key 6 on your phone. A Conference key must be
set up on your phone before you can set up conference calls. To assign a key as a
Conference key, see "Conference Key" on page70.
Conference State Screens
When you use the Conference key to initiate a conference call, the following screen
displays.
In a conference call, the call timer moves to the left. You use the up and down arrow
keys to scroll to a party on the list. You use the right arrow key to select the party to
drop.
Local Conferencing
The 53i 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 53i.
Note: Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speeddial a
specific number. Contact your System Administrator for more informa-
tion.
