Starting And Joining A Standard Conference - Cisco 7906 Manual

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 in
progress on one line. (SCCP phones only.)
• 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.
