Chapter 7: Configuring System Parameters
Opening a Conference Before it is Due to Begin
The system can open a conference before it is due to begin to facilitate participants that arrive
into conference early. The OpenConferenceXMinutesBefore parameter controls the
amount of time, before the conference start time, that the conference opens.
Note:
This parameter is now obsolete.
Note:
Setting the 'Conference Yet to Begin' Message Warning
Participants who dial in to a conference before it is due to begin are greeted by a system
message. The system message informs the participants that the conference is yet to begin. The
PlayStartingUpToXMinutesBefore parameter controls the timing of this system message.
If a participant enters the conference before a specified time, the system does not play a system
message.
For example, if PlayStartingUpToXMinutesBefore=10, any participant who dials into the
conference within ten minutes of its starting time, hears the system message. If the participant
dials into conference twelve minutes before the conference, they hear no message.
Extending Conference Duration
When a conference is close to completion, the system sends a warning message to the CRS.
The system automatically checks to see if any of the following are true:
The conference is still in progress
●
No conflict exists with the allocation of system resources
●
If these conditions exist, the system automatically extends the conference. However, if the
conference is over or a conflict exists with system resources, the system does not extend the
conference. The SizeExtensionPeriodMinutes parameter controls the conference
extension period..
For example, if SizeExtensionPeriodMinutes=30, the system extends the conference by
30 minutes.
This parameter is used in association with MaxNumberExtensionPeriods. For more
information, see
The warning message plays before the end of the conference. For more information, see
