Preventing Others From Viewing Or Barging A Shared-Line Call - Cisco 7942G Phone Manual

Tips
• When you barge a call, other parties might hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With
cBarge, other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display
conference details.
• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys
will not appear on the other phones that share the line.
• If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy disabled and it is configured with Private Line
Automated Ringdown (PLAR), the barge and cBarge features will still be available.
• You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold,
transferred, or turned into a conference call.

• If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the

shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers will not be able to view or barge calls on any of
your shared lines.
