The system allows up to nine concurrent sub-conferences to be created from a main
conference, but it does not impose any limits on the number of successive sub-conferences that
can be created. The system does not permit creation of a sub-conference from another.
See System Configuration
system.
Although it inherits most of the configuration settings of the main conference from which it is
created, a sub-conference is essentially a distinct conference:
A sub-conference can be secured (no one allowed entry into the conference) by a
l
moderator in the sub-conference. Whether or not a main conference is secured has no
effect on the sub-conference.
Once a moderator secures a main conference, participants in a sub-conference may not
l
rejoin the main conference until the moderator unsecures it. When the participant attempts
to rejoin a secured main conference:
the system plays the moderator a notification message such as, "Your conference is
l
currently secured. A participant of the Sub Conference is requesting re-entry. Please turn
off security to unlock the conference."
the participant hears a message such as, "The main conference has been secured and
l
entry is not allowed at this time. The moderator has been notified of your request, please
stand by..." Once the moderator removes the security, the system plays a message such
as, "Re-entry to the main conference is now allowed.
A sub-conference's roster is played independently of its main conference roster.
l
The system generates a Conference Detail Record (CODR) for each sub-conference
l
created from a main conference. (A CODR is a daily report that contains data from all
conferences that occurred for the day. See
details.)
Important information about main and sub-conference CODRs:
The values for the Cross Ref fields and the values for the Conference ID fields for main
l
and sub-conference CODRs are identical. This enables billing or auditing personnel to
correctly associate sub-conferences with main conferences.
The User Conf Type field in a sub-conference CODR identifies the conference as a
l
sub-conference.
Sub-conferences are recorded separately from the main conference.
l
The following system-wide conference features applicable to a main conference are not
applicable to a sub-conference:
Auto-Extend-Ports — The system does not extend ports for a sub-conference. Ports
l
added to a main conference are also available for any new or existing sub-conference
created from the main conference. Any additional participants who wish to join a
sub-conference can enter the main conference and then transfer to the sub-conference.
