IVR Provider Entry Queue (Shared Number Dialing)

In an environment that includes a DMA, the Collaboration Server Entry Queue can be
configured to provide the IVR Services on behalf of the DMA to SIP endpoints. It displays
the Welcome Slide, plays the welcome message and retrieves the destination conference ID
that is entered by the participant using DTMF codes.
To enable this feature, a special Entry Queue that is defined as IVR Service Provider only is
created. This Entry Queue does not forward calls to conferences running on the
Collaboration Server and its main functionality is to provide IVR services.

Call Flow

The SIP participant dials the DMA Virtual Entry Queue number, for example
1000@dma.polycom.com.
The DMA forwards the SIP call to the Collaboration Server, to a special Entry Queue that is
configured as IVR Service Provider Only. The participant is prompted to enter the conference
ID using DTMF codes.
Once the participant enters the conference ID, the conference ID is forwarded to the DMA,
enabling the DMA to connect the SIP endpoint to the destination conference or create a new
conference and connect the participant to that conference.

a configuration, the DMA handles the calls
defined separately.
Therefore, normal Entry Queues must be
