Chapter 4 - Setting Up Conferences
4-56
On Hold Select this option to place the conference on hold.
While in the On Hold state, all the participants hear
background music (if an external device is attached
to the Audio+ IO card).
Clear this check box to reinstate the conference.
Note: A conference on hold can be released and
placed on hold during an On Going Conference.
This option is enabled only for Audio Only
conferences and only when an IVR Service is
assigned to the conference and the Audio+ card is
installed in the MCU.
Enable Invite Select this option to enable the Invite functionality in
an IVR-enabled conference. When selected,
participants in the conference can invite new
participants during the conference.
Note: This option can only be activated during the
conference definition stage. It is valid only for
conferences with an IVR service in which the Enable
Invite messages and prompts are enabled.
For more information, refer to the MGC Manager
User’s Guide, VoicePlus Edition.
Auto Termination Select this option to automatically end the
conference by the MCU and define the termination
condition and the time period (in minutes) before the
conference is considered idle:
• Before First Join — No participant has
connected to an On Going Conference for n
minutes after it started. Default is 5 minutes.
• After Last Quit — All the participants have
disconnected from the conference and the
conference is idle (empty) for a predefined time
period. Default is 1 minute.
Since empty conferences still use resources that
were reserved for them, this option is useful to save
resources and billing costs.
