In a scenario where a customer wants to enable Hardware conferencing while in SRST for CBarge as well as in normal operation. We can configure this by registering the conference bridge first to the Call managers and then to the telephony service IP source address. In this way when the gateway will go in SRST, its Conference bridge will register with telephony-service (CME) thus enabling the Conference Bridge for use.

We will have to force the ephones to have “privacy off” otherwise they will have it enabled by default as they fallback in SRST. If privacy is enabled, CBarge will not work. You can either use auto-prov none (preferred) or use auto-prov all and edit the ephone-dn.
Note: The above solution was prepared by me months back after trying different approaches. I just found that Cisco has released (August 2010) a bug CSCti11843 which explains that how this CBarge thing can only be achieved the way I have explained above. Bug description as follows:
CSCti11843 Bug Details:
Shared-line Cbarge remote-in-use softkeys not working in SRST
Symptom:
For Shared line if you want cbarge you must disable privacy and enable remote-in-use softkey under ephone-template. However if you configured SRST CME with srst mode auto-provision none or dn privacy setting on the ephone remains default which means it is on. Hence you can’t disable privacy.
Conditions:
When phones fallback to SRST.
Workaround:
Only workaround is to either configure:
ephone 1
privacy off
or configure srst mode auto-provision all
