Usage tips
Conference names do not need to be unique.
Participants can only join a conference by
dialing its numeric ID if the conference's
numeric ID is registered with the H.323
gatekeeper or SIP registrar (depending on
which protocol the endpoint is using).
If the conference has a numeric ID that is not
registered, you can join the conference if the
TelePresence Server is receiving a call
through an H.323/SIP trunk. This is the method
Cisco recommends.
It is possible to call into a non-registered
conference by dialing the IP address of the
TelePresence Server that is running the
conference plus the numeric ID, however, this
method is not recommended.
Conferences do not have to have a numeric
ID, but numeric IDs must be unique.
