Centralized Conferencing (for Sylantro and BroadSoft Call Managers)
The 6867i allows you to create multiple conferences with unlimited participants (depending on your server limitations)
when your Administrator enables centralized conferencing.
If your Administrator does not enable centralized conferencing, then the 6867i uses local conferencing by default.
Your Administrator can configure centralized conferencing globally on all lines or on specific lines. Although, for the glo-
bal setting to work, you must configure the lines with the applicable phone number.
Setting Up a Conference and Adding Multiple Parties (for Sylantro and BroadSoft Call Managers)
If any party in the conference hangs up (including the party that began the conference), all other parties in the confer-
ence are still connected.
Note:
When centralized conferencing is enabled on your phone, local conferencing (or three-way conferencing) works as
indicated in “Local Conferencing” on page 116. Joining two active calls in a conference also works as indicated in “Cre-
ating a Conference Call By Joining Two Existing Calls” on page 119.
