11. Call merging and switching

11.1 Overview — what is possible?

You can choose to create a conference call using two or three of the phones to which the base is connected

that is, a conference call between you and callers on your deskphone, softphone and mobile phone. This is

termed call merging. Here, audio from the headset’s microphone is routed to all the other phones in the confer- ence and audio from any one phone is routed to the headset’s speaker and to the other phones.

Also, a merged call (or any active call for that matter) can be put on audio-holdat any time. This means that audio from that phone is no longer routed to the headset; the audio link between the phone and the headset is broken. The call is unmerged. You can later choose to re-establish the audio link; the call is then merged again and joins the currently active call(s).

You can switch your headset’s audio between a call that is on audio-hold and one that is active (in the foreground on the Jabra base touchscreen) — for example between a held call on your deskphone and a current call on your mobile phone. This is termed call switching.

Note: Putting an active call on audio-hold is NOT the same as putting a call on hold in the usual (telephony) sense of the term. You put a call on audio-hold on the Jabra base, breaking the audio link between the phone that has the call and the headset. The call’s audio is disconnected internally in the Jabra base.

In the telephony sense of the term, you put an active call on hold in the phone system; here the audio link remains open. This is a function of the telephone system.

11.2 call merging

You can merge calls as described in this section.

Consider the figures below:

1.You have an active call on your softphone. A desk phone and mobile phone are also connected to the Jabra base.

on your desk phone.

2.While you are on call, another phone (in this case your desk phone) starts ringing. This situation is termed a call collision. See also the section “Managing Call Collision”.

You can now choose either to accept or reject the incoming call.

You touch the green handset icon and accept the call.
