Conferencing Calls
The 6905 IP phone offers two methods of conferencing:
• Local conferencing (default method).
• Centralized conferencing (for Sylantro and BroadSoft call managers - Administrator must enable this
method).
NOTE: Mitel 6905 SIP phone does not support blind conference on the MiVoice Connect Platform.
Local Conferencing
The 6905 phone supports up to 3 parties (including yourself) in a conference call. This is called Local
Conferencing and is the default method of conferencing on the 6905.
NOTE: Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speed dial a specific number. Contact
your System Administrator for more information.
The following screen illustrates
a connected local conference screen:
In a local conference call, you use the up and down arrow keys to scroll to a party on the list, the 4 Drop
key to drop a selected party and the 3 Leave key to leave the conference.
Using Local Conferencing
Use the following procedure to create a conference call using local conferencing.

1. When you begin a conference, you are the first party in the conference (Party 1). Pickup the handset
or press the 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.
