Handling Calls

Conferencing Calls

The 6867i IP phone has a dedicated Conference key. You can use this hard key to create conference calls or use the Conf softkey offered on screen when in a connected call.

Conference Key

The 6867i IP phone offers two methods of conferencing:

Local conferencing (default method).

Centralized conferencing (for Sylantro and BroadSoft call managers - Administrators must enable this method).

Local Conferencing

The 6867i phone supports up to three parties (including yourself) in a conference call. This is called local conferencing and is the default method of conferencing on the 6867i.
