Conference Types

On-demand Conferences (Reservationless
Conferencing)

Ad Hoc Conferencing

This chapter gives an overview of basic conference types. For a full
description of conference types, see the MGC Manager User's Guide,
Volume I, Chapter 4.
Reservationless conferencing enables you to immediately start and connect
to On Going conferences from your endpoint, with no advanced scheduling.
The MGC Manager offers two methods for Reservation-less conferencing:
• Ad Hoc Conferencing
• Meeting Rooms
In Ad Hoc conferencing, the participant connects to an Ad Hoc-enabled
Entry Queue. An Entry Queue is a special routing lobby to which one or
more dial-in numbers are assigned. The participant is prompted for the
destination conference Numeric ID. If no conference with a matching
Numeric ID is running, the system creates a new On Going conference,
provided the participant has the permission to do so. The new conference is
created according to the conference parameters defined in a Profile assigned
to the Entry Queue. In this method, the conference Profile is created only
once, and is used repeatedly to create numerous conferences.
This conferencing mode is useful when you want to allow all employees in
your organization to start On Going Conferences from their endpoints
without having to define conference parameters for each employee and each
conference.
