That is a CUCM only feature, easy fix and the way we used to handle this before this feature arrived was simply to park the call on line 2 and then on line 1 press conference + park DN.

That is a CUCM only feature,

No, CME also does it as Philip correctly indicated above.

Look for "Soft Keys for Conference Functions" in the CME System Administrator guide.

Hey Paolo, aren't you confusing the "join across lines" with the regular "join" feature?

I did looked but unless the documentation is outdated I don't see it

Soft Keys for Conference Functions

In Cisco Unified CME 4.1 and later versions, the following soft keys  provide conferencing functions for hard-ware based multi-party  conferencing enhancements on your phone and require the appropriate DSP  farm configuration. For configuration information, see the "SCCP:  Configuring Multi-Party Ad Hoc and Meet-Me Conferencing in  Cisco Unified CME 4.1 and Later Versions" section.

•ConfList—Conference list. Lists  all parties in a conference. For multi-party ad hoc conferences, this  soft key is available for all parties in a conference. For meet-me  conferences, this soft key is available for the creator only. Press Update to update the list of parties in the  conference, for instance, to verify that a party has been removed from  the conference.

•Join—Joins an established call  to a conference. You must first press Select to  choose each connected call that you want to join in a conference, then  press Join to join the selected calls to the  conference.

•RmLstC—Remove last caller.  Removes the last party added to the conference. This soft key works for  the creator only.

•Select—Selects a call or  conference to join to a conference and selects a call to remove from a  conference. The creator can remove other parties by pressing the ConfList soft key, then use the Select and Remove soft keys to remove the appropriate  parties.

•MeetMe—Initiates a meet-me  conference. The creator presses this soft key before dialing the  conference number. Other meet-me conference parties only dial the  conference number to join the conference. This soft key must be  configured before you can initiate meet-me conferences.

It's not listed here either

Even if you look for "join across lines" in CCO the product section on the left only shows hits for CUCM or CUCMBE, it doesn't find it in any CME doc.

I think that was discusses time time ago.

You press Select then Join for each line and it's all conferenced.

I have never tried myself.

Actually I believe the Select softkey lets you do exactly that - select the line you want to conference in with Join.

Will try that later, maybe.

Actually there is plenty of things CME does while CM do not.

- paging

- B-ACD/AA with call statistics

- overlay DNs

- line-selective CFA

and some more for sure.

Hi alls guys!!

I really appreciate all your comments, I have just tried and it works !!!!  , philip thanks a lot.

regards

I'm glad I could help.  Thanks for the vote!

Correct, without hardware conferencing you are limited to three participants.

Thanks.  And what about the Join/Select buttons? Should those work with software conferencing?
