Ad Hoc Settings - Polycom RealPresence 1500 Administrator's Manual

● If the Conference IVR Service is configured to prompt for the Conference password, the participant
is requested to enter the conference password. In this flow, the conference password is not validated
with the external database application, only with the MCU.
 If the wrong password is entered, he/she is disconnected from the conference.
● If the correct conference password is entered, the participant is prompted to enter the chairperson
identifier key.
 If no identifier is entered, the participant is connected to the conference as a standard participant.
● If the chairperson identifier is entered, the participant is prompted to enter the chairperson password.
● When the participant enters the chairperson password or his/her personal password, it is sent to the
external database application for validation.
 If the password is incorrect the participant is disconnected from the MCU.
● If there is a match, the participant is granted the right to join the conference as chairperson. In
addition, the external database application sends to the MCU the following parameters:
 Participant name (display name)
 Participant Information, such as the participant E-mail. These fields correspond to Info 1, 2, 3 and
4 fields in the Participant Properties - Information dialog box.
To enable conference access validation for all participants, the following conferencing components are
required:
● The external database must hold the Chairperson Password or the participant's Alias.
● The Conference IVR Service assigned to the conference (defined in the Profile) must be configured
to check the external database for the Chairperson password only when the participant enters the
chairperson identifier key (either pound or star). In addition, it must be configured to prompt for the
chairperson identifier key and password.
