When the conference time expires, the ICB card issues the final
warning to the conferees. The ICB sends a release message to the
Meridian system for all associated ICB ports. These ports become
available for the next planned conference. If there is no other scheduled
conference, they become floating ports which the system does not
reserve for any conference. Floating ports are available to expand
conferences in progress.
Conferees can exit a conference at any time. The ICB detects when a
conferee exits the conference. If enabled, the ICB announces the
conferee’s name. When one conferee is on the conference, the system
issues an announcement that only one conferee is present, followed by
60 seconds of music. The system repeats this announcement and the
music, until at least one more conferee joins in, or the ICB terminates
the conference at the scheduled end time, or if the conferee or
chairperson issues the stop music command (*19).
Note: A conference can begin and end two minutes before the
defined time. This feature allows the system to close all terminating
conferences two minutes earlier and start all scheduled conferences
immediately after closing the terminating conferences. This feature is
important when terminating and starting conferences use some of
the same DNs.
