On Demand Conferencing
The following options are available to set up conferences:
•
New Conference – set up once, use once.
The conference is deleted from the MCU after it ends.
•
Meeting Rooms – set up once, use many times.
Meeting Rooms are saved in memory (using no resources) and can be
activated as many times as needed.
•
Ad Hoc Entry Queue – no setup, a new conference can be created when
a user dials in and enters a conference ID that is not being used by an
existing conference or Meeting Room.
•
Gateway calls – from IP endpoints to other participants, using the
direct dialing method, with up to 10 destination numbers contained
in a single dial string.
Permanent Conference
A Permanent Conference is an ongoing conference with no predetermined
End Time, continuing until it is terminated by an administrator, operator
or chairperson.
Scheduled Conferencing / Reservations
Reservations provide calendar-based scheduling of single or recurring
conferences. These conferences can be launched immediately or become
ongoing, at a specified time on a specified date.
