Connecting to an On Going Conference
You can add dial-out participants to the conference either by selecting the
participants from the Participant database, from a User Template file or by
defining them directly during the On Going Conference. For a discussion on
adding participants directly to the conference, see Chapter 4, “Adding New
Participants to a Conference” on page 4-22.
Dial-in participants can connect directly to the conference using its dial-in
number (PSTN/ISDN/T1-CAS participants) dialing string composed of the IP
Network Service Prefix and conference Numeric ID (H.323 participant) or the
conference URI (SIP participant).
Undefined participants connect to a conference by using the conference dial-
in number (ISDN/T1-CAS/PSTN), dialing string (H.323) or SIP URI (SIP).
The ISDN/T1-CAS dial-in number, the H.323 Network Service Prefix and
conference numeric ID are displayed in the Status pane of the MGC Manager
main window.
To view the list of On Going Conferences and their dial-in numbers:
• Expand the MCU tree, and then click the On Going Conferences icon.
The list of On Going Conferences with their H.323 Network Service
Prefixes, Numeric IDs and dial-in numbers are displayed in the Status
pane.
For a description of the Status and Monitor pane columns, see MGC
Manager User’s Guide, Volume I, Chapter 5.
