Connecting To A Conference; Direct Dial-In - Polycom 1500 Deployment Manual

If a Conference Template is assigned a dial-in number that is already assigned to an ongoing
conference, Meeting Room, Entry Queue or Gateway Profile, when the template is used to start an
ongoing conference or schedule a reservation it will not start. However, the same number can be
assigned to several conference templates provided they are not used to start an ongoing conference
at the same time. If a dial in number conflict occurs prior to the conference's start time, an alert
appears: "ISDN dial-in number is already assigned to another conferencing entity" and the
conference cannot start.
If an ongoing conference, Meeting Room or Entry Queue with the same Display Name, Routing
Name or ID already exist in the system, the conference will not be started.
For detailed description of Conference Templates, see RealPresence Collaboration Server
(RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Administrator's Guide, "Conference Templates" on page 7-1.

Connecting to a Conference

Direct Dial-in

Participants must be provided with a dialing string which can vary according to the
network type, conference password and chairperson password.
Participants dial the conference dial-in string and are connected to the conference IVR
Service. Once the correct information, such as the conference password and chairperson
password are entered, the participants are connected to the conference.
