Setting Up Multiple Conferences (for Sylantro Server only)
Note:
The 9143i is limited to 9 conferences (a single conference each on lines 1 through 9).
1. Start Conference 1 using the procedures in the previous section,
(for Sylantro and Broadsoft Servers)".
2. When you are finished adding all required parties to Conference 1, press an available Line Key to start Conference 2.
You are Party 1 on Conference 2. Call Party 2.
3. When Party 2 answers, press the Conf Key.
4. Press an available Line Key.
5. Call Party 3 for Conference 2.
6. When Party 3 answers, press the Conf Key to join Parties 1 (which is yourself ), Party 2, and Party 3 on Conference 2.
You now have two active conferences on two different lines.
Note:
When you are connected to multiple conference calls, and you put a conference on hold, the conference may be on
hold for a limited period of time before it is disconnected. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
If any party in a conference hangs up (including the party that began the conference), all other parties in the conference
are still connected.
Joining Additional Parties to Active Conferences
In centralized conferencing, you can join multiple incoming or outgoing calls to active conferences. Before following this
procedure, at least one active conference must exist on your phone.
1. As Party 1, pickup the handset or press the speakerphone key.
A line opens up.
2. Call Party 2 by dialing their number (or answer an incoming call of a Party).
3. Wait for Party 2 to answer. When Party 2 answers, you can consult with them before adding them to the conference.
4. Press the Conf Key.
5. Press the Line Key that has the active conference. (For example, Line 1 and Line 2 both have active conferences.
Pressing Line 1 joins Party 1 and Party 2 to the conference on Line 1. Pressing Line 2 joins Party 1 and Party 2 to the
conference on Line 2.)
6. Press the Conf Key again to join the Parties to the active conference.
Ending a Conference and Transferring Remaining Parties
The 9143i allows a Host to drop from a 3-way conference and let the other two parties remain connected by pressing a
Transfer key.
Notes:
1. The 9143i does not support scrolling between lines.
2. The Caller ID of the dropped Host still displays on the remaining parties' phones.
If you are the Host of a conference and want to leave that conference:
• While in a 3-way conference press the Transfer key on the phone.
Your phone leaves the 3-way conference but the remaining parties are still connected to the conference.
