Ad-hoc Conferencing and Active Directory Integration

Profiles

4-12
Profiles are conference templates stored on the MCU, designed mainly for
Ad Hoc conferences. They must be defined for all Ad Hoc conferencing
scenarios. Profiles are assigned to Entry Queues designated for Ad Hoc
conferencing. They allow callers to start a new conference without prior
definition of the conference, based on the conference properties defined in
the Profile assigned to the Entry Queue.
The MGC Manager operator with Superuser permission can create,
modify, use or delete Profiles.

Defining Profiles

Profiles are stored on the MCU and can only be accessed from the MCU
Configuration tree by an operator with Superuser permission.
Profile definition is done the same way as defining a regular conference. It
is recommended to create only Profiles required for Ad-hoc conferences
and use templates (database or MGC) for all other conferencing modes.
To define a new Profile:
1
In the Browser area, expand the MCU tree and then expand the MCU
Configuration tree
2 Right-click the Profiles icon, and then click New Profile.
The Conference Properties - General dialog box is displayed.
3 Define the Profile parameters. These parameters are identical to the
Conference Template parameters. For more details, see the MGC
Manager User's Guide, Volume I, Chapter 4.
— If conference access is validated with the Active Directory server,
in the Properties - Settings dialog box select an IVR Service in
which the External Server Authentication option is set to Always
or Upon Request.
•
It is not recommended to enter the Conference Entry Password,
Chairperson Password and the conference Numeric ID in the profile as all
Ad Hoc conferences initiated from the Entry Queue(s) to which it is assigned
will have the same Numeric ID and Passwords.
•
The option for adding participants to the profile is intended for recording port
and cascading link definitions.
