Conference Initiation Validation with External Database Application
The participant dials in to an Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue.
The participant is requested to enter the Conference ID.
The participant enters the conference ID via his/her endpoint remote control using
DTMF codes. If there is an ongoing conference with this Conference ID, the participant
is moved to that conference where another authentication process can occur, depending
on the IVR Service configuration.
If there is no ongoing conference with that Conference ID, the MCU verifies the
Conference ID with the database application that compares it against its database. If the
database application finds a match, the external database application sends a response
back to the MCU, granting the participant the right to start a new ongoing conference.
If this Conference ID is not registered in the database, the conference cannot be started
and this participant is disconnected from the Entry Queue.
The external database contains a list of participants (users), with their assigned
parameters. Once a participant is identified in the database (according to the conference
ID), his/her parameters (as defined in the database) can be sent to the MCU in the same
response granting the participant the right to start a new ongoing conference. These
parameters are:
— Conference Name
— Conference Billing code
— Conference Password
— Chairperson Password
