Conference Overbooking; External Passcode Validation - Avaya CS700 Administration And Maintenance

Note:
If Music is turned on for the conference, participants who arrive early wait on
Note:
standby. If the moderator specifies a passcode upon arrival, the waiting
participants must enter the passcode before they are allowed into the
conference. However, if Music is turned off, participants who arrive before the
moderator can enter the conference without the passcode.
CHANGE CONFERENCE OPTIONS. When a participant enters a leader PIN code and
l
assumes leader (moderator) status, the system immediately prompts the leader to press 1
to start the conference. However, the leader can press 2 to change several conference
options before the conference starts. After changing options, the leader can press 1 to
start the conference.
USE SPECIAL STAR COMMANDS. Flex conferences require that leaders and
l
participants use special DTMF commands during the conference. A leader can create,
control, and end a conference call using keypad star commands, which toggle on and off.

page 125. For instructions on configuring bridge settings for Flex conferences, see

Conference Overbooking

The system's overbooking feature enables you to specify the percentage of system lines you
want available for Conference Overbooking. Overbooking enables you to schedule more
conference lines than the system supports. In light of the fact that some conference participants
do not attend conferences as scheduled, this feature ensures that those scheduled yet unused
lines are immediately available for other conferences.
Refer to Chapter 7: Configuring Conference Scheduler
a percentage of system lines for Conference Overbooking that will meet your requirements.

External Passcode Validation

External Passcode Validation (EPV) is an optional feature that enables the system to validate
conference security passcodes (conferee and moderator codes) for unattended conferences
from an external database (e.g., Oracle database) instead of from the system database.
Basically, the system submits to an external database the passcode entered by the first caller
(moderator or conferee) who attempts to enter a conference. Upon determining the code is
on page 76.
