Ad Hoc Conferencing without Authentication

D-2
A participant dials in to an Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue and starts a new
conference based on the Profile assigned to the Entry Queue. In this
configuration, any participant connecting to the Entry Queue can start a
new conference, and no security mechanism is applied. This mode is
usually used in organizations where Ad Hoc conferences are started from
within the network and without security breach.
Starting a conference uses the following method:
1 The participant dials in to the Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue.
2
The Conference ID is requested by the system.
3
The participant inputs a Conference ID via his/her endpoint remote
control using DTMF codes.
4 The MCU checks whether a conference with the same Conference ID
is running on the MCU. If there is such a conference, the participant is
moved to that conference. If there is no ongoing conference with that
Conference ID, the system creates a new conference, based on the
Profile assigned to the Entry Queue, and connects this participant as
the conference chairperson.
