Cisco Systems 7985G warranty Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call

Maximum Supported Calls on a Shared Line

The maximum number of calls that a shared line supports can vary by phone. Thus, at times you might not be able to make a new call on the shared line even if your co-worker can. For example, your phone supports a maximum of four calls on a shared line and your co-worker’s phone supports five calls on the same line. If there are four calls on the line, the NewCall softkey is unavailable to you but available to your co-worker.

Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call

Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to an established call on a shared line using Barge or cBarge. Typically, only one of these features will be available to you.

	If your co-worker has Privacy enabled, the Barge and cBarge
	softkeys are not available and you cannot barge the call. In
	this case, you cannot view information for the private call on
	your touchscreen, but you can still use the shared line to place
	and receive new calls.

	Note that, unlike Barge, cBarge converts the call into a
	standard conference call, allowing you to add new conference
	participants to the call. (To learn more about conference
	features that you can use with cBarge, see the “Making
	Conference Calls” section on page 26.)
	When you hang up, the call remains a conference call
	(provided at least three participants remain on the line).
