Cisco Systems 7940G IP Phone User Manual

Your system administrator can enable a call forward override feature that allows the person
receiving your forwarded calls to reach you. With override enabled, a call placed from the target
phone to your phone is not forwarded, but rings through.
Your phone may reject your attempt to set up Call Forward All directly on the phone if the target
number that you enter would create a call forwarding loop or would exceed the maximum number
of links permitted in a call forwarding chain.
Making Conference Calls
Your Cisco Unified IP Phone allows you to join three or more people into one telephone conversation,
creating a conference call.
Understanding Types of Conference Calls
There are two types of conference calls: Standard and Meet-Me.
Standard Conference Calls
You can create a standard conference in different ways, depending on your needs and the softkeys
available on your phone:
Confrn—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference by calling each participant. Standard
conference calling is a default feature available on most phones.
Join—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference by joining several calls already on one
line.
cBarge—Use this softkey to add yourself to an existing call on a shared line and to turn the call
into a standard conference call. This feature is available only on phones that use shared lines.
See the “Starting and Joining a Standard Conference” section on page 21 for additional instructions.
Meet-Me Conference Calls
You can create a Meet-Me conference by calling the Meet-Me phone number at a specified time.
See the “Starting or Joining a Meet-Me Conference Call” section on page 23 for additional
instructions.
