Using Barge Features - Cisco 7970 Series Phone Manual

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.

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.
