Monitoring On Going Conferences

General Monitoring

You can monitor conferences at the conference level or at the participant level
and perform various operations while conferences are running.
Monitoring conferences means viewing the status of the On Going
Conferences and the status of their participants.
Operations can also be performed at the conference level or at the participant
level. For example, you can terminate a conference before its scheduled
ending or you can extend its duration. Alternatively, you can disconnect an
individual participant while the conference is in progress, or temporarily mute
transmission to and from a site so that the other participants can hold a private
discussion. You can also connect dial-out participants during the conference
and add a new participant while the conference is in session.
Three levels of monitoring are available with the MGC Manager:
General Monitoring - You can monitor the general status of all the On
•
Going Conferences and their participants in the MGC Manager main
window.
• Conference Level Monitoring - You can view additional information
about the conference setup and definition, using the Conference -
Properties option.
Participant Level Monitoring - You can view detailed information about
•
the participant's status using the Participant - Properties option.
When an operator is available to attend participants, you can view the
status of participants in the Participants Queue window. For more
information about the Participants Queue, see the MGC Manager User's
Guide, Volume I, Chapter 5.
You can monitor a conference to keep track of its participants and its
progress. When monitoring a conference, you can check whether its
participants are correctly connected and whether errors or faults have
occurred.
The MGC Manager allows you to monitor several On Going Conferences
simultaneously. The On Going Conference information is easily available and
clearly represented.
