Conferencing Calls
On the 6739i you can join multiple callers into a conference on your phone. You can use the hard key, or if you
are on an active call, you can also use the softkey that displays on the screen.
The 6739i IP phone offers two methods of conferencing:
• Local conferencing in pre-dial and live dial mode (default method).
• Centralized conferencing (for Sylantro and Broadsoft Servers) (Administrator must enable this method).
The following paragraphs describe how to use the Conference hard key or softkey to initiate local and centralized confer-
encing.
Local Conferencing
The 6739i phone supports up to 3 parties (including yourself ) in a conference call. This is called Local Conferencing and is
the default method of conferencing on the 6739i.
Pre-Dial & Live Dial Mode
By default, when users are initiating a conference call or transfer, they will not hear a dial tone before dialing begins (pre-
dial mode). The phone does not automatically dial out the number until the user presses the “Conference” key. This
allows the users to make changes to the dialing number before initiating the call. Administrators can configure a live dial
mode.
In live dial mode, when the user is completing a conference call or transfer, they will hear a dial tone before dialing
begins. In addition, the phone will either match the number to the dial plan or wait for the set digit timeout.
Note:
Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speed dial a specific number. Contact your System Admin-
istrator for more information.
