On-Demand Conferences; Flex Conferences - Avaya CS700 Administration And Maintenance

System Features
External Passcode Validation — An external database validates the first access code
l
submitted for entry to a conference and then uploads conference parameters to the
system.
PIN Mode — Specifies whether PIN code implementation is optional, whether non-unique
l
PIN codes are required (all conferees enter same PIN code), or whether unique PIN codes
are required (all conferee enter a different PIN code).

On-Demand Conferences

The system enables you to designate a percentage of system lines for On-Demand
conferences — ad hoc, unattended conferences that can be convened on a first-come,
first-served basis during a pre-scheduled time period. On-Demand conferences are configured
using the Conference Scheduler application. Schedulers can schedule one-time conferences or
a reoccurring conferences. An On-Demand conference can, for example, extend continuously
(24 hours a day, seven days a week), 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, 1 AM to 6 AM
every Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM on 10th of each month, 12 AM to 12 PM on August 31, 2007, or
over any other span during which conferees want to insure lines are available for a conference
at a moment's notice. See Meeting Exchange 5.0 Bridge Talk User's Guide for details on
scheduling On-Demand conferences.
Like other unattended conferences, an On-Demand conference begins when the first conferee
calls in and provides a valid access code, and an On-Demand conference customer can
convene as many consecutive conferences as they want within the specified time period.
However, lines for On-Demand conferences are available on a first-come, first-served basis;
that is, successful convocation of On-Demand conferences is dependent on the availability of
lines for On-Demand conferences. See
details on apportioning a percentage of system lines for On-demand conferences that will meet
your requirements.

Flex Conferences

Flex is a type of unattended, on-demand conference in which participants can join a conference
directly. This "reservationless" conference uses a profile to keep track of all the selected
conference features, such as Hang up or Name Record/Playback.
Once the system administrator has defined the settings in a profile, participants can join Flex
conferences on a first-come, first-served basis. However, there can be only one moderator
(leader). Leaders can change profile settings before a conference begins, and create, control,
and end a conference call using DTMF telephone commands. For example, moderators can:
SPECIFY A CONFERENCE PASSWORD. Leaders can optionally add another layer of
l
security by specifying a passcode that participants must enter before they can join the
conference.This password is valid only for the duration of the conference and is not stored
on the system.
