Selecting Calls; Viewing Calls And Switching Between Calls - Cisco 7960 Reference Manual

SELECTING CALLS

held calls, but only want to join two of them to a conference call, you can select the calls that you want to add to the conference
before activating the feature.

VIEWING CALLS AND SWITCHING BETWEEN CALLS

These tips can help you switch between calls on one or more lines. If the call you want to switch to is not automatically highlighted,

IF YOU WANT TO...

TIPS
• Only one call can be active; other calls will be placed on hold automatically.
• When you have multiple calls on one line, calls with the highest precedence and longest duration display at the top of the call list.
• Calls of a similar type are grouped together in the call list. For example, calls that you have interacted with are grouped near the top, selected calls are grouped next, and calls that you have
not yet answered are grouped last.
