Handling Calls

Conferencing Calls

The 6737i 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).

When you lift the handset on the phone, the Conference key displays on the bottom set of softkeys by default. Use this

key to create conference calls.

Local Conferencing

The 6737i 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 6737i.

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.

In the default pre-dial mode, users are able to edit the destination number prior to dialing, whereas in live dial mode

they are not able to, however the “Dial” and “Cancel” softkeys are provided while the user inputs the number.

Note:

Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speed dial a specific number. Contact your System Admin-
