My Siemens A580 has options for controlling the R key.  It seems that you can either have it setup for transfer or as a hook flash.  Default is as a transfer key.

I haven't succeeded in getting it to work for transfer and it is wayyyyy down low on my list of things to do with the phone.

From the web UI:

Call Transfer

 
Use the R key to initiate call transfer with the SIP Refer method.: Yes    No
Transfer Call by On-Hook: Yes    No
Derive target address: from SIP URL    from SIP contact header
Find target addr. automatically: Yes    No

Hook Flash (R-key)

 
  R key settings are disabled because the R key is being used for call transfer.

I'm trying to get the possibility of transfering an incoming call from one extension to another, and give the possibility of turning it into a conference.
I don't have a 'transfer' button.
I do have an 'R' button on the Siemens handsets, and a 'Flash' button on the Sipura. The 'Flash' button gives me a new dialtone, gives the caller MOH, and then I can dial the new extension, and transfer the call, but not create a conference.
But the Siemens handset does not have a 'flash', and pressing the R doesn't do anything.
 
It might be two different features 'transfer' and 'conference'...

But I thought that using the bind_meta_app would accomplish both.
 
It's on an incoming call from the outside.
So the situation:
The Public folder has an entry that matches the dialed number, and does a transfer to 8202.
Then the dialplan matches the 8202 with a group, and the phone rings.
Somebody picks it up, finds out that it needs to be transferred to another extension, or transferred to a conference with a second extension.
How do I construct that?
