Centralized Conferencing

The 6731i supports centralized conferencing for Sylantro and Broadsoft servers. This feature provides centralized conferencing on the SIP server (versus localized, on the phone). Your System Administrator must enable this feature on your phone before you can use centralized conferencing.

Centralized Conferencing allows you to perform the following:

•Conference two active calls together into a conference call.

•When on an active conference call, invite another party into the call.

•Create simultaneous conference calls on the same IP phone (Sylantro servers only). For example, a user at extension 2005 could create two conferences, and put one conference on hold while conversing with the other party:

—Line 1: conference together extensions 2005, 2010, and 2020.

—-Line 2: conference together extensions 2005, 2011 and 2021.

•Disconnect from an active conference call while allowing the other callers to remain connected.

•Add unlimited number of users to a conference (dependent on the limitations of the server).

•Join two active calls together into a conference.

•Join incoming or outgoing active calls to any existing conference.

Reference

For more information about using Centralized Conferencing, see “Centralized Conferencing (for Sylantro and Broadsoft Servers)” on page 112.

Answer and Ignore Keys for XML Applications

If you are accessing XML applications on your phone and a call comes in, your System Administrator can create "Answer" and "Ignore" keys that you can use to either answer the incoming call, or ignore it.

An XML application can display here while a call is coming in.

Ignore Answer

When the 3 Ignore Answer 4 line displays, you can press the Right Arrow key (Answer) to answer the incoming call without disturbing the current XML application. When you answer the call, the 3 Ignore Answer 4 line disappears from the LCD. Pressing the Left Arrow key (Ignore) ignores the incoming call without disturbing the current XML application. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
