Handling Calls
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.
Note:
Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speed dial a specific number. Contact your System Admin- istrator for more information.
