Dial Plan for Meet-Me Conference Bridges
This advanced feature of the AastraLink Pro enhances the current 3-way
conference available on the Aastra SIP phones. This feature provides
AastraLink-hosted ad-hoc Meet-me Conference bridges for all users.
Conference bridges are created dynamically by the AastraLink when the feature is
accessed. If the moderator is the first to connect to the bridge, he/she is prompted
to choose a PIN; otherwise, the conference begins immediately with any users
waiting on hold (with music) joined to the conference.
A virtual conference bridge is associated to every SIP extension by adding an
accessor prefix 6 to the users phone number. For example, user 200’s meet-me
bridge is at 6200. (For more information about the conferencing dial plan, see the
Dial Plan Table on page 4-40).
A user calling into his/her home extension conference bridge becomes moderator
automatically. If calling from another extension (or externally) the user may
authenticate his/her voicemail credentials to become moderator. More than one
moderator login is permitted in a conference; if no moderator exists (i.e. all
moderators leave the conference) the conference is terminated.
When a moderator dials into a conference from a phone other than the his/her own
phone, the number 6102 must be dialed to allow password authentication of the
moderator. (For more information on dial plan numbers, see the see the Dial Plan
Table on page 4-40.)
The moderator can optionally configure a PIN on the conference bridge. If the
PIN is configured, users must enter this PIN before they can be joined into the
conference on the bridge.
Note: Any users currently in the hold queue prior to a moderator joining will be
added automatically. To differentiate between a PIN moderated and a
non-PIN moderated call, the moderator will NOT be prompted to create a
PIN for a conference if there are already users on hold waiting. Such a
conference shall be considered 'insecure'. The moderator can leave the
conference, and cause it to be terminated, before re-connecting and
assigning a PIN.
