Join The Conference Using The Single Dn Access Method - Nortel 2100 Fundamentals

to that ICB card. The chairperson dials the chairperson DN to a specific
conference. This number is different from the DN dialed by the conferees for
the same conference.
The ICB performs DTMF detection on ICB ports identified as chairperson
ports. DTMF detects when conferees enter a conference password. A
conference can start without the chairperson. If all allocated ports for a
conference are taken up with conferees, the chairperson cannot join the
conference, unless a port is specifically reserved for the chairperson. The
chairperson can also join if the system allows conference expansion and
there are free, un-scheduled (floating) ports available.
The first conferee joining the conference hears an announcement indicating
that no other conferee has joined the conference, followed by 60 seconds of
music. The system repeats the announcement with 60 seconds of music,
until another conferee joins the conference.

Join the conference using the single DN access method

The single DN access method to all meetings provides users with a
alternative method of accessing the ICB. This feature reduces the amount of
Direct Inward Dialing (DID) numbers that have to be configured in the switch
and provides the following benefits:
•
•
•
•
The only trade-off is that callers have an additional step when accessing
a meeting (that is, after dialing the single-access DN, they must enter the
chairperson, or meeting, DN of their specific meeting).
