Local / Centralized Conferencing

Note
Central Configuration file:
sip.cfg
(provisioning
server)
Configuration changes can be performed centrally at the provisioning server:
Specify whether to allow a transfer during the proceeding state of a
consultation call.
• For more information, refer to
Specify whether a transfer is blind or not.
• For more information, refer to
on page A-80.
The phone can conference together the local user with the remote parties of a
configurable number of independent calls by using the phone's local audio
processing resources for the audio bridging. There is no dependency on
network signaling for local conferences.
All phones support three-party local conferencing. The SoundPoint IP 450,
550, 560, 650, and 670 and SoundStation IP 7000 phones may support four-way
local conferencing.
Four-party conferencing requires a license key for activation. For more information,
refer to Manage Conferences
If the initiator of a three-party local conference ends the call, the other members of
the call may still communicate. If the initiator of a four-party local conference ends
the call, the conference ends.
The phone also supports centralized conferences for which external resources
are used such as a conference bridge. This relies on network signaling.
Configuration changes can be performed centrally at the provisioning server:
Specify the conference hold behavior (all parties on hold or only host
is on hold).
• For more information, refer to
on page A-80.
Specify whether or not all parties hear sound effects while setting up a
conference.
• For more information, refer to
on page A-80.
Specify which type of conference to establish and the address of the
centralized conference resource.
• For more information, refer to
on page A-20.
