Speeddial/Conference Key - Mitel 6863i Administrator's Manual

Mitel 6800i Series SIP Phone Release 4.0.0 SP2 Administrator Guide

SPEEDDIAL/CONFERENCE KEY

The IP Phones allow you to configure a softkey/programmable key/expansion module key to
be used as a Speeddial Conference key (Speeddial/Conf key) while remaining in the current
call. This key allows a user on a call, to conference another party at a pre-defined number while
remaining in the conference call.
For example, while on an active call, a user can use the Speeddial/Conf key to dial a recording
service and have the resulting conference recorded.
Note: If currently in a conference, the Speeddial/Conf key is disabled on the active call.
HOW IT WORKS
If you configure a softkey/programmable key/expansion module as a Speeddial/Conf key, and
you press this key while on an active call, the focused line changes to the dialing line. A Cancel
softkey displays on the 6867i/6869i IP phones, allowing you to abort the conference speeddial
if required. The message "Ringing..." displays below the number when the far end is ringing.
The message "Conf. Unavailable" briefly displays when a conference is already in progress.
The active call is not put on hold when the speeddial number is dialed. This feature is not
compatible with centralized conferencing.
The softkey/programmable key is called "Speeddial/Conf" in the Web UI drop down list. In the
configuration file, use "speeddialconf" as the softkey type.
