Chapter 6 - Operations Performed During On Going Conferences

Disconnecting and Reconnecting Participants
On occasion, a participant may not need to continue with the conference. In
such a case, you can remove a participant from the conference by:
• Disconnecting the participant
• Deleting the participant
When you disconnect a participant, resources remain allocated to that
participant and the defined properties are retained by the system’s memory,
therefore you can easily reconnect the participant if necessary. This is useful
when participants wish to discontinue temporarily with intention to return to
the conference at a later stage. Deleting a participant completely removes all
participant information from the conference and releases the resources that
were allocated to that participant. Therefore, to reconnect a participant who
was deleted from the conference, you have to define the parameters again as
you would do for a new participant.
To disconnect a participant:
1. In the Monitor pane, Status pane or Browser pane, list the participants
connected to the conference.
2. Right-click the icon of the participant to disconnect, and then click
Disconnect Participant.
The participant is disconnected from the conference.
