How Participants Access And Exit A Sub-Conference; Role Of The Conference Moderator - Avaya CS700 Administration And Maintenance

System Features
Auto-Extend-Duration — The system does not allow individual extension of a
l
sub-conference. The duration of an existing sub-conference extends as long as the main
conference duration extends.

How Participants Access and Exit a Sub-Conference

A conference participant (moderator or conferee) uses the keypad command, *93, to create and
transfer to and from a sub-conference:
When a participant in a default call flow main conference presses *93 plus a digit 1- 9,
l
where the digit corresponds to the subconference, the system creates a sub-conference
or, if sub-conference has already been created, the system routes the participant to that
sub-conference.
Participant lines are transferred to the sub-conference and thus subtracted from the main
l
conference. The Call Detail Record (CDR) the system generates for each line in a
conference indicates that the line was transferred.
When a participant presses *930 while in the sub-conference, the system returns the
l
participant line to the main conference.
A sub-conference ends when all participants have left the sub-conference.
Tip:
For a Flex conference, one sub-conference only is supported. Press *93 to

Role of the Conference Moderator

A sub-conference "shares" the moderator(s) from the main conference. That is, no additional
moderators are required to manage a sub-conference; moderators can enter and exit a
sub-conference at will.
Questions and answers about the role of a moderator in a main conference and a

l
sub-conference and the system is configured to automatically end a conference (Auto
Hang-up feature enabled) when the last moderator in the conference disconnects?
The system does not end the main conference. The feature is applicable only when the
l
last moderator leaves the main conference.
What happens when the only or last moderator in the main conference disconnects from a
l
sub-conference and the system is configured to automatically end a conference (Auto
Hang-up feature) when the last moderator in the conference disconnects?
The system ends both the main conference and the sub-conference.
l
When a moderator secures a main conference (disallows entry to any additional
l
participants) is the sub-conference secured as well?
