Conference
Usage tips
Conference names do not need to be
unique.
Participants can only join a conference by
dialing its numeric ID if the conference's
numeric ID is registered with the H.323
gatekeeper or SIP registrar (depending on
which protocol the endpoint is using).
If the conference has a numeric ID that is not
registered, you can join the conference by
dialing the IP address of the TelePresence
Server that is running the conference plus
the numeric ID.
Conferences do not have to have a numeric
ID, but numeric IDs must be unique.
