Understanding Barge Features

cBarge and Barge

Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a non-private call on a shared line using either cBarge or Barge:

•cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants. (See Making Conference Calls, page 33 for information about standard conferences.)

•Barge enables you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow you to add new participants.

Single-button and Multi-touch Barge

Your system administrator determines whether the barge feature on your phone (cBarge or Barge) operates as a single-button or multi-touch feature.

•Single button barge enables you to press a line button to barge a call (if only one call is on the line).

•Multi-touch barge enables you to view call information before barging.

Tips

•When you barge a call, other parties may hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With cBarge, other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display conference details.

•If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys will not appear on the other phones that share the line.
