Dial-out Participants

5-6
Usually for SIP conferencing, an Ad Hoc Entry Queue is used. In this
scenario, the first participant dials the Entry Queue and creates a new
conference, while the other conference participants dial directly to the
conference using the conference name or Numeric ID.
When dialing from a Microsoft Windows Messenger endpoint that does not
have DTMF capabilities, the first participant (who creates the new conference
in Ad Hoc Conferencing) enters the Entry Queue name followed by the target
conference name and the numeric ID in the format:
EQ Name (Target Conference Name)(Target Conference Numeric ID).
For example, EQ1(sales)(12345). In this example, the Entry Queue name is
EQ1, and a new On Going Conference by the name sales with the Numeric
ID 12345 will be created on the MCU.
You do not need to add the domain name to the conference name, as it is
automatically added by Microsoft Windows Messenger when the request is sent
to the SIP server.
Dial-out participants, who are called by the conference, must be defined in the
system. For details, see "Adding a Participant to a Conference" on page 5-13.
For more information about how participants can access conferences, refer to
the MGC Manager User's Guide, Volume I, Chapter 4.
