Indication of Transferred Calls

transferred and the far-end call is dropped. The figure below illustrates the Call Transferred screen on
the 6940 phone.
Conferencing Calls
You can use the Conf softkey offered on screen when in a connected call to create conference calls or
use a softkey configured with Conference functionality (see “Conference Key” on page 130).
Local Conferencing
The 6940 phone supports up to three parties (including yourself) in a conference call. This is called local
conferencing and is the default method of conferencing on the 6940.
NOTE: Your System Administrator can set your Conference key to speed dial a specific number. Contact
your System Administrator for more information.
Creating a Conference Call 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.
