To transfer a call:
1. While in a call, press on your Polycom system remote control to
access the tone pad.
2. Press Dot on the remote to activate flash hook. The first far-site
system is placed on hold.
3. Wait for a dial tone, then dial the extension of the far-site system to which
you want to transfer the call. The call connects both audio and video
between the local system and the second far-site system. The first far-site
system is still on hold.
4. Hang up the near-site system. The two far-site systems are now
connected in a call with audio and video, if the capabilities are present.
To add a system to a call:
1. While in a call, press on the Polycom system remote control to access
the tone pad.
2. Press Dot on the remote to activate flash hook. The far-site system is
put on hold.
3. Wait for a dial tone, then dial the extension of the system that you want to
add to the call.
4. Press Dot on the remote again. The call becomes an audio-only
conference with all of the systems. If the system that dialed the flash hook
hangs up, the other systems will be connected in a call with audio and
video, if the capabilities are present.
