Using Barge to Add Yourself to a Shared-Line Call

You can use barge features (cBarge or Barge) to add yourself to calls on your shared line. (Calls must
be non-private calls. See

Understanding Barge Features

cBarge and Barge
Depending on how your phone is configured, you can add yourself to a call on a shared line using
either cBarge or Barge:
• cBarge converts the call into a standard conference, allowing you to add new participants. (See
Making Conference Calls, page 28
• Barge allows you to add yourself to the call but does not convert the call into a conference or allow
you to add new participants.
Single-button and Multi-touch Barge
Your system administrator determines whether the barge feature on your phone (cBarge or Barge)
operates as a single-button or multi-touch feature.
• Single button barge allows you to press a line button to barge a call (SCCP phones only).
• Multi-touch barge allows you to view call information before barging.
