Operations Performed During On
Going Conferences
During an On Going Conference, the MGC Manager operator can perform
many management tasks at the conference level or at the participant level.
Operations at the participant level affect individual connections, while those
at the conference level affect several or all participants of the conference.
Operators can terminate a conference before the originally scheduled ending
or extend its duration. Alternatively, they can disconnect an individual
participant while the conference is in progress or temporarily mute the
transmission to enable other participants to hold a private discussion.
Operators can establish an operator-controlled dial-out connection during the
conference and add a new participants during session.
Some conference management tasks can also be performed by chairpersons
from their endpoint, using DTMF codes or the WebCommander application.
This chapter describes the activities and options available to the operator or
the chairperson during an On Going Conference.
