Handling Calls

Using Centralized Conferencing

IP Phone UI

Note:

When Centralized Conferencing is enabled on your phone, local conferencing (or three-way conferencing) works as indi- cated in the previous section, “Using Local Conferencing.” Joining two active calls in a conference also works as indicated in the previous section, “Creating a Conference Call by Joining Two Existing Calls.”

Use the following procedure to create a conference call using centralized conferencing.
