How Participants Access And Exit A Sub-Conference; Role Of The Conference Moderator - Avaya S6200 Administration And Maintenance

The values for the Cross Ref fields and the values for the Conference ID fields for main
l
and sub-conference CODRs are identical. This enables billing or auditing personnel to
correctly associate sub-conferences with main conferences.
The User Conf Type field in a sub-conference CODR identifies the conference as a
l
sub-conference.
Sub-conferences are recorded separately from the main conference.
l
The following system-wide conference features applicable to a main conference are not
applicable to a sub-conference:
Auto-Extend-Ports — The system does not extend ports for a sub-conference. Ports
l
added to a main conference are also available for any new or existing sub-conference
created from the main conference. Any additional participants that wish to join a
sub-conference can enter the main conference and then transfer to the sub-conference.
Auto-Extend-Duration — The system does not extend the duration of a sub-conference.
l
The duration of an existing sub-conference extends as long as the main conference
duration extends.

How Participants Access and Exit a Sub-Conference

A conference participant (moderator or conferee uses the keypad command, *93, to create and
transfer to and from a sub-conference:
When a participant presses *93 plus a digit 1- 9, where the digit corresponds to the
l
subconference, while in the main conference, the system creates a sub-conference or, if
sub-conference has already been created, the system routes the participant to that
sub-conference.
Participant lines are transferred to the sub-conference and thus subtracted from the main
l
conference. The Call Detail Record (CDR) the system generates for each line in a
conference indicates that the line was transferred.
When a participant presses *930 while in the sub-conference, the system returns the
l
participant (and the line) to the main conference.
A sub-conference ends when all participants have left the sub-conference.

Role of the Conference Moderator

A sub-conference "shares" the moderator(s) from the main conference. That is, no additional
moderators are required to manage a sub-conference; moderators can enter and exit a
sub-conference at will.
