conference call.
To place a call on hold, press the Hold button.
To return to the call, press the Hold button again.
Transferring a Call To transfer a call to
another phone: Step 1. During a call, press the Transfer button. This
places the call on hold. Step 2. Dial the number to which you want to
transfer the call. Step 3. When the party answers, announce the call
and press Transfer. Step 4. Hang up if the party accepts the
call. Step 5. Press Hold to return to the original call if the party
refuses or does not answer the call. Note You can also transfer a call by
pressing Transfer when the phone begins to ring. In this case, the caller
is transferred to the other phone without being announced, and you cannot
return to this call.
Redialing the Last Number Dialed To redial the most
recently dialed number, lift the handset and press the redial button.
Note:
Redial is an optional feature configured by your system administrator.
Although your phone supports this feature by default, your system

Parking a Call You can store or
"park" a call at a specified number and then use any other phone (for
example, a phone in someone else's office or in a conference room) to
retrieve the call. Note: Call Park is an
optional feature configured by your system administrator; your phone does
not support this feature by default. Call Park is only available if your
system administrator configured your phone to support
it. Step 1. During an active call, press the park
button.The display shows the number to which the call is parked. Step
2. Make a note of the Call Park number and then hang up. The call is now
parked at that number, allowing you to retrieve it from another phone.
Note
You have a reasonable but limited amount of time to retrieve the parked
call before it disconnects. Step 3. To retrieve the parked
call from any phone in the Cisco CallManager system, dial the Call Park
number at which the call was parked.
Making Conference Calls Conference calls allow you
to have multiple callers participating in the same telephone call. The
ability to make conference calls with your telephone is an optional

the conf button. This automatically opens a new line and
places the other party on hold. Step 2. Place a call to another
party. Step 3. When the call connects, press conf again to add this
party to the conference call. Note: Once the conference
call initiator disconnects, no new parties can be add; and avoid putting a
conference call on hold. When you put a call on hold, a beeping tone
automatically generates every few seconds, or music is played (depending
on how your administrator has configured the system). To
transfer a conference call to another telephone, press the Transfer
button. Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call and then
press Transfer again. All parties are transferred.
2. Establishing Meet-Me Conference Calls A Meet-Me conference

Before a Cisco IP Phone can be used, it must
be added to the Cisco CallManager using Cisco CallManager Administration.
For the phone to work, you need to configure the phone keypad and the
lines.
There are two ways of adding IP Phones to the telephone directory
network: auto-registration or without auto-registration.
Method
1 Auto-registration allows you
to automatically add Cisco IP Phones to Cisco CallManager Administration
simply by plugging them into a Cisco CallManager network.
Auto-registration automatically assigns a directory number (selected from
a range of numbers) to the telephone.
By default, auto-registration is turned off. When Cisco CallManager
Administration is configured, you can turn on auto-registration by
specifying a range of numbers from which auto-registration can choose
directory numbers. Then, when new phones are added, they are automatically
assigned the next available directory number. If a phone is moved to a new
location, its phone number does not change.
Turning on Auto-Registration:
Step 1. Open Cisco CallManager Administration.
Step 2. Click
Configuration. Step 3. In the
Auto-Registration area, click Configure. Type
the start and end directory numbers (provided by your telephone company).
Step 4. Click Update. (The range of
directory numbers auto-registration can use is configured, and
auto-registration is enabled. When a new phone is added to the system, its
directory number is automatically assigned by auto-registration).
Method 2 Turning
auto-registration off prevents unauthorized
devices from registering with and gaining access to the Cisco
CallManager.
Turning off Auto-Registration:
Step 1. Open Cisco CallManager Administration.
Step 2. Click
Configuration. Step 3. In the
Auto-Registration area, click Configure. ( Type
the same directory number in both the start number and end number boxes.
For example, type 1000 as the start number, and 1000 as the end
number). Step 4. Click Update.(
Auto-registration is turned off. New phones added to the system must be
manually configured in Cisco CallManager Administration).
Adding a Cisco IP Phone (WITH AUTO-REGISTRATION):
Prequisite: Auto-registration must be
turned on, and the phones must be plugged in. Have a list of the Media
Access Control (MAC) addresses for each phone that is auto registered, and
the location or user name for each phone.
Steps: Step 1. Open Cisco
CallManager Administration. Step 2. Click
Configuration. Step 3. Click
Cisco IP Phone. Step 4. In the Phone List,
click the first phone that auto-registered. Note: Because
auto-registration was turned on before you connected the phones, each
phone already has one line assigned. • Go to step 5 if
you want to add display information to line 1 (such as the user
name). • Go to step 9 if you want to add additional lines. • If the
current line appearance is acceptable, skip to Step 15. You can always add
more lines later. Step 5. Adding display information for Line 1:
In the Line Numbers area, click the underlined number 1 in the first
column. Step 6. In the Display box, type the display information you
