Configuring Conference Scheduler

Overview

With EPV enabled, the system can be integrated into a distributed audio conference
infrastructure where conferences are scheduled and conference parameters are stored on one
or more external database servers and uploaded to the system when the conferences are
convened.
When EPV is enabled, the system uses HTTP to send requests the external passcode server,
where passcodes are stored and validated The external server communicates directly back to
the bridge by sending an XML document that conforms to the Document Type Definition,
(epv.dtd). Figure 19

Validation Process

When the first caller attempts to enter a conference by providing a passcode in response to a
system prompt, the system requests validation of the passcode from the passcode database
server. If the database server determines the passcode is valid, it confirms the request and
uploads the conference information to the system, where it is stored in system memory. The
system convenes the conference and validates passcodes entered by all subsequent callers
based on the conference information in memory received from the database server.
