Conference Scheduler; Auto Blast - Avaya CS700 Administration And Maintenance

No. A moderator can secure a sub-conference only while in the sub-conference.
l
Can participants become stranded in a sub-conference (unable to transfer back to the
l
main conference) if the only moderator transfers from a secured main conference to
sub-conference?
No. An annunciator message notifies the moderator to unsecure the main conference
l
before transferring to the sub-conference. The moderator cannot transfer to the
sub-conference until the main conference is unsecured.
Can participants become stranded in a sub-conference (unable to transfer back to the
l
main conference) if the only moderator disconnects from a secured main conference and
the Auto Hang-up feature is not in effect (the conference continues as scheduled)?
This scenario is possible. If a conference requirement is that all participants must be able to
re-join a main conference before it ends, the moderator must ensure that all participants can
re-join the conference by not securing the conference prior to hanging up.

Conference Scheduler

The Conference Scheduler, which can be accessed from the Bridge Talk application, enables
you to schedule every type of conference supported by the system — attended, unattended,
and on-demand conferences. The system stores and automatically activates schedules.
Reservations that do not include an end date are considered to be valid for as long as the sytem
is active.
The Scheduler lets you specify conference setup information such as, but not limited to, start
time, end time, and number of lines. Also, the Scheduler notifies you if it detects scheduling
conflicts such as those related to the availability of lines or security codes, and it allows you to
modify the schedule as required. You can use the Scheduler to modify scheduled conference
settings at any time prior to a conference, and you can also modify the number of lines and the
duration of the conference and its security code while a conference is in progress. The
Scheduler also enables you to view and print scheduling reports and purge expired conference
information.
See the Bridge Talk User's Guide for Conference Scheduler details.

Auto Blast

The optional Auto Blast feature provides blast-dial capability for moderators in unattended
conferences. From the Conference Scheduler application, Auto Blast can be disabled, set for
manual implementation, or set for automatic implementation.
Manual implementation — The conference moderator enters *92 on the telephone keypad
l
to initiate the blast dial.
