I set up the conference, but when I hit transfer, it presents me with a "transfer party" dialog. It's a bit confusing, because it's not really clear which party is being transferred. Are you using a different phone or firmware? Maybe there's a setting somewhere?


Well, I happened to figure it out. On the Snom 870, when you have the conference going, both parties are in the context area. Drag one and drop it on the other and bam, they are connected, and now you can hang up while they continue to talk.

Pretty obvious once you figure it out, but rather unconventional, and not documented anywhere best I can tell.
