Chapter 7: Configuring System Parameters
Setting the Maximum Participant/Port Availability
You can restrict the number of participants in conferences to ensure that the conference load
does not overstretch system resources.
If a system has 240 ports, Avaya recommends that you set the MaxConferenceSize
parameter to a percentage of the overall ports available.
For example, if MaxConferenceSize=80, you can schedule three conferences using 80 ports
each, occurring at the same time.
Setting the Maximum Number of Extension Periods
When a conference is nearly complete, Operators and Moderators can extend its duration.
Operators and Moderators can add extension periods to the booked conference duration.
The MaxNumberExtensionPeriods parameter controls the number of extensions that
Operators and Moderators can add to the conference duration.
MaxNumberExtensionPeriods works with another parameter called
SizeExtensionPeriodMinutes. For more information, see
Duration
on page 118.
For example, if MaxNumberExtensionPeriods=4, Operators can extend a conference a
maximum of four times.
Reusing the Same DDI for Scheduled Conferences
Usually, you use DDI numbers for dialing into scheduled conferences. Before you can use a
DDI, you must create it as a resource. For more information, see
Usually, the system has a limited number of DDIs available for use. The system can reuse DDIs
to counter the shortage. The system does not allow conferences with the same DDI and PIN
combination to occur simultaneously. The MinutesBetweenDDIReuse parameter establishes
the minimum duration that must lapse between two conferences before the system can reuse
the same DDI and PIN combination.
For example, if MinutesBetweenDDIReuse=40, 40 minutes must lapse between scheduled
conferences before the system can reuse the DDI and PIN combination.
