Unattended Conference
An unattended conference is usually a reservation-less conference that is
started by participants who dial-in and enter a password. This type of
conference is set up once, to be activated by the participants when required.
Although an operator is not needed for this conference, one can be on hand. In
an unattended conference, it is the conference chairperson who controls all
features and functions of the conference either via the touch-tone telephone, a
DTMF input device such as a remote control or via the Internet. Conference
participants can perform simple operations (such as muting or unmuting their
line or modifying their volume) from their touch-tone telephone or DTMF
input device. Actions that can be performed by the participants or the
chairperson, are defined in the IVR Service that is assigned to that
conference. This type of configuration requires the installation of the Audio+
card in the MCU.
