Sub-Conferences

Sub-conferencing enables a group of participants to leave a main conference to discuss topics
of a confidential nature or that are unrelated to the topic of discussion in the main conference.
The S6200/S6800 can be configured to allow a conferee, a moderator, or both to convene a
sub-conference from a main conference. Both conferees and moderators, however, can join a
sub-conference regardless of which type of conference participant started the conference.
The system allows up to nine concurrent sub-conferences to be created from a main
conference, but it does not impose any limits on the number of successive sub-conferences that
can be created. The system does not permit creation of a sub-conference from another.

system.
Although it inherits most of the configuration settings of the main conference from which it is
created, a sub-conference is essentially a distinct conference:
A sub-conference can be secured (no one allowed entry into the conference) by a
l
moderator in the sub-conference. Whether or not a main conference is secured has no
effect on the sub-conference.
Once a moderator secures a main conference, participants in a sub-conference may not
l
rejoin the main conference until the moderator unsecures it. When the participant attempts
to rejoin a secured main conference:
the system plays the moderator a notification message such as, "Your conference is
l
currently secured. A participant of the Sub Conference is requesting re-entry. Please turn
off security to unlock the conference."
the participant hears a message such as, "The main conference has been secured and
l
entry is not allowed at this time. The moderator has been notified of your request, please
stand by..." Once the moderator removes the security, the system plays a message such
as, "Re-entry to the main conference is now allowed.
A sub-conference's roster is played independently of its main conference roster.
l
The system generates a Conference Detail Record (CODR) for each sub-conference
l
created from a main conference. (A CODR is a daily report that contains data from all
conferences that occurred for the day. See
details.)
