This part of the guide covers the installation, configuration and administration of IP Office Conferencing
Center. It is intended for the system administrator and the Conferencing Center administrator.
Conferencing Center for IP Office comprises of a Windows Service that handles the communication with
IP Office, Voicemail Pro and SoftConsole via the IP switch.
Conferencing Center interacts with IP Office in the following ways:

Shares ports and audio channels with the IP Office.

Uses bridge number/s from which participants can join a conference.

The SoftConsole operator can transfer participants to a conference and create an "immediate"
conference.

Phone Manager can be configured to connect directly to the Conferencing Center Scheduler and
Web Client GUI.
You have the option to install both the scheduler and web client host applications on the same server or
on to separate servers for security and access purposes. The distinctions between the two applications
are:

CD) and allows access to the scheduling of conferences and general maintenance. The
Scheduler is used to book conferences.

Web Client Host - Allows conference participants to access a web conference interface that
supplements the audio conference.

3.0 or above:
