Local / Centralized Conferencing
The phone can conference together the local user with the remote parties of a
configurable number of independent calls by using the phone’s local audio
processing resources for the audio bridging. There is no dependency on
network signaling for local conferences.
The phone also supports centralized conferences for which external resources
are used such as a conference bridge. This relies on network signaling.
