The list of On Going Conferences with their Numeric IDs and dial-in
numbers are displayed in the Status pane.
In some configurations, the ISDN/PSTN number is truncated by the PBX, and
you must add the appropriate prefix to the dial-in number that is displayed in
the Status pane.

Conference Access via Entry Queue

Using an Entry Queue minimizes the number of dial-in numbers that have to
be allocated to conferences and the number of conferences that require
registration with the SIP server and enables using one or a small number of
URI addresses for all dial-in connections.
All ISDN participants dial the same Entry Queue dial-in number, and once
they connect to the Entry Queue, are routed to their conference according to
the conference numeric ID or password that they enter.
H.323 participants dial the IP Network Service Prefix and the Entry Queue
Numeric ID. They are routed to the target conference according to the
conference numeric ID or password that they enter.
When a new conference reservation or Entry Queue is defined the conference
or Entry Queue registers with the SIP proxy. The SIP participant registers.The
SIP participant uses the Entry Queue URI to access the Entry Queue using the
format: Entry Queue name@domain name. For example,
EQ1@polycom.com.
