Configure DNs for a dual-card conference
When a dual-card conference is defined, two meetings are defined on
two cards. First, the meeting is booked on the primary card allocating
the maximum free ports. Second, the meeting is booked on the
secondary card allocating the rest of free ports for the dual-card
conference. The user defines a dual-card conference only on the
primary card.
When a user dials into a dual-card conference, the call can terminate
either on the primary or on the secondary card. Calls to the dual-card
conference main ACD DN are forwarded according to the ACD time
overflow night table.
On both cards (primary and secondary), the user cannot use the
dual-card conference pair DNs for a simple meeting. Therefore, nine
DNs are available for simple meeting and bridges.
For a dual-card configuration, one card functions as the primary card
and the other as the secondary card. Define for each card an ACD data
block with an ACD DN in LD 23, as shown in
For the primary card, configure the following DNs:
•
•
•
Therefore, for the primary card, configure up to 20 DNs in LD 23 that
Night Call Forward (NCFW) to the ACD DN of the primary card.

DN pairs (up to nine) – These pairs serve as chairperson and
conferee DNs for single-card conferences (less than 32 ports) on
the primary card.
Note: If single-number access is being used, DN pairs are not
required. Instead, define the single-number access DN in this
step which callers use to access a simple conference on the
primary card.
TUI DN – This is the DN that users dial to set up single-card
conferences on the primary card. Do not configure this DN, if the
TUI is not going to be used.
Chairperson DN – This is the DN that chairperson of a dual-card
conference dials to enter a dual-card conference. This DN is
required for dual-card setup.
