5 When the application server has completed the pre-conference IVR, the application
server routes the call to a VMR with the collected password appended to the following
dial string: <conf-id>**<password>@mcu-sig-ip. The call is disconnected from the
application server. The MCU now has control of the call.
6 The call is transferred to a conference, which can reside on another MCU.
Call Flow for Standalone TIP Endpoints
The following describes how a standalone TIP endpoint call is placed into the IVR-
controlled Entry Queue and is then connected to a conference:
1 A TIP call is routed through the application server to the IVR-controlled Entry Queue.
TIP endpoints can either have a single screen or multiple screens.
2 The MCU answers the call and waits for the IVR media file requests from the
application server. The MCU does not control the call while the call is in the Entry
Queue.
3 The application server may request, through the MCCF channel - IVR package, to play
an audio file and display a video slide. When the TIP endpoint uses multiple screens,
the video slide is displayed on the main screen only. When the audio file has finished
playing, the MCU notifies the application server that the audio file has been played for
the call.
4 The application server may request, through the MCCF channel - IVR package, to
collect DTMF input such as a conference ID or password, from the caller. When the TIP
endpoint uses multiple screens, the DTMF input is collected only once from the main
screen. The DTMF input is transferred from the MCU to the application server. When
the application server receives the DTMF input, it validates the input for the required
conference ID or password. Because TIP uses DTLS, it can optionally enable re-keying
of DTMF input and the calls to the Entry Queue and the conference can be encrypted.
5 When the application server has completed the pre-conference IVR, the application
server routes the call to a VMR with the collected password appended to the following
dial string: <conf-id>**<password>@mcu-sig-ip. The call is disconnected from the
application server. The MCU now has control of the call.
6 The call is transferred to a conference, which can reside on another MCU.
Call Flow for TIP Endpoints from a Polycom ITP System
The following describes how a TIP call from Cisco TPS endpoints or TIP calls from a
Polycom ITP system working as a TIP call is placed into the IVR-controlled Entry Queue
and is then connected to a conference:
1 A TIP call is routed through the application server to the IVR-controlled Entry Queue.
2 The MCU answers the call and waits for the IVR media file requests from the
application server. The MCU does not control the call while the call is in the Entry
Queue.
3 While the call is in the Entry Queue, video is only displayed on the main screen.
4 DTMF input is collected only once from the main screen. Because TIP uses DTLS, it can
optionally enable re-keying of DTMF input and the calls to the Entry Queue and the
conference can be encrypted.
5 When the application server has completed the pre-conference IVR, the application
server routes the call to a VMR with the collected password appended to the following
dial string: <conf-id>**<password>@mcu-sig-ip. The MCU now has control of the call.
6 The call is transferred to a conference, which can reside on another MCU.
