For a description of all the participants’ connection status indications and
icons, see Table 3-2: On Going Conference - Monitor Pane Columns,
page 3-7.
Changing Participant Connection Types (Dial-In/Dial-Out)
You can change the connection type used by the participant to connect to the
conference. For example, when the participant cannot dial-in and you want
the MCU to dial-out to the participant, you can toggle between the dial-in and
dial-out connection type.
To toggle between Connection Types:
1. In the Monitor pane, Status pane or Browser pane, list the participants
defined for the conference.
2. Right-click the participant's icon whose connection type needs to be
changed, and then click Dial In or Dial Out (depending on the
participant's current definition).
The system toggles between dial-in and dial-out depending on the
current participant connection type.
• The Connection Type parameter can be changed only when the participant is
disconnected from the conference and both dial-in and dial-out parameters
are defined in the Participant Properties - Identification dialog box.
• If the dial-in phone numbers are not defined for the participant when
switching to dial-in and the Meet Me Per option is set to MCU - conference,
the system automatically allocates the appropriate phone numbers from the
list of dial-in numbers defined in the Network Service that was selected for
participants.
• If the Meet Me Per option is set to Party or Channel, and no CLI number is
defined for the participant, the system will reject the participant’s call.
