below the on Going Conferences icon and starts immediately. You can
click the conference icon to view its status in the Status pane of the MGC

Resolving Scheduling Conflicts
Upon completion of scheduling a Reservation or an On Going Conference,
the system checks for scheduling conflicts for individual participants.
A scheduling conflict for a participant results when two or more conferences
are set up to occur at the same time or at overlapping times and contain one of
the following parameters:
• Participants with the same name
• Participants with the same ISDN/T1-CAS phone numbers
• Participants with the same IP address/Alias
Depending on the connection type that was defined for the participant, MGC
Manager looks for specific conflict criteria to determine if the participant is
double-booked. Table 4-13 lists these criteria:
