Flex Conferences
Flex is a type of unattended, on-demand conference in which participants can join a conference
directly. This "reservationless" conference uses a profile to keep track of all the selected
conference features, such as Hang up or Name Record/Playback.
Once the system administrator has defined the settings in a profile, participants can join Flex
conferences on a first-come, first-served basis. However, there can be only one moderator
(leader). Leaders can change profile settings before a conference begins, and create, control,
and end a conference call using DTMF telephone commands. For example, moderators can:
SPECIFY A CONFERENCE PASSWORD. Leaders can optionally add another layer of
l
security by specifying a passcode that participants must enter before they can join the
conference.This password is valid only for the duration of the conference and is not stored
on the system.
Note:
If Music is turned on for the conference, participants who arrive early wait on
Note:
standby. If the moderator specifies a passcode upon arrival, the waiting
participants must enter the passcode before they are allowed into the conference.
However, if Music is turned off, participants who arrive before the moderator can
enter the conference without the passcode.
CHANGE CONFERENCE OPTIONS. When a participant enters a leader PIN code and
l
assumes leader (moderator) status, the system immediately prompts the leader to press 1
to start the conference. However, the leader can press 2 to change several conference
options before the conference starts. After changing options, the leader can press 1 to
start the conference.
USE SPECIAL STAR COMMANDS. Flex conferences require that leaders and participants
l
use special DTMF commands during the conference. A leader can create, control, and
end a conference call using keypad star commands, which toggle on and off.
For more information on the default call flow and Flex options, see
page 36. For instructions on configuring bridge settings for Flex conferences, see
