Direct Dialing and Access
Different methods can be used for dialing directly into the conference:
• Using the MCU dial-in number and defining the participants prior to the
conference start. The MCU dial-in number is communicated to the
participants. Upon connection to the MCU, they are routed to the
appropriate conference according to their CLI number.
• Meet Me Per Conference - Assigning a dial-in number to each
conference and defining the conference as Meet Me, allowing undefined
participants to connect to the conference.
In this mode, no IVR service is assigned to the conference and the participant
connection process is automatic.
The meeting organizer/operator assigns a dial-in phone number to each
conference designated as Meet Me Per Conference. The conference dial-in
number is given to all the conference participants who use it to directly
connect to the conference. Using this mode, any participant who dials the
conference number can connect to the conference until all the MCU resources
are utilized or the maximum number of participants is reached.
The Meet Me Per Conference is the basis for Meeting Rooms definition.
• The system can automatically allocate the conference and chairperson
passwords (depending on the MCU configuration). For more information on
system configuration, see the MGC Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 5, “Edit
system.cfg”.
• Dial-out participants (operator dial-out or system dial-out) connecting to the
conference can also enter the IVR queue, if the IVR Service assigned to the
conference is configured to prompt dial-out participants for conference
password.
