Chapter 2 - Defining Standard Audio Only Conferences and Reservations

Allow Undefined
Parties
Select this option to let undefined participants to
connect to the conference. When enabled, undefined
participants can connect to the conference until the
maximum allowed number of participants (Max
Participants) is reached, or until the MCU resources
allocated to the conference are used up.
Note: This option is automatically selected when the
Meet Me per Conf or Entry Queue Access options are
selected in the Properties - General tab.
Min Participants Define the total number of participants for which the
system reserves resources. This number should include
defined as well as undefined participants.
For example, if the conference includes two defined
participants (dial-in or dial-out) and you want the system
to reserve resources for three additional undefined
participants, enter 5 in the Min Participants box.
If you enter 0, no resources will be reserved for the
conference. Participants will be able to connect to the
conference if there are available resources.
Note: The total number of conference participants is
limited by the value set in the Max Participants
parameter, or by the maximum number of participants
per conference supported by the MCU.
Max Participants Enter the maximum number of participants who can
connect to the conference at one time. The maximum
number is calculated taking into account both the
defined and undefined participants.
Use this option to save resources for other conferences.
When set to Auto, the maximum number of participants
is determined by the maximum number of participants in
a conference as supported by the MCU, or the by the
availability of MCU resources.
Dial-Out
Manually
Select this option to designate an operator-controlled
dial-out conference connection. When this option is
checked, the participants remain in standby state until
the operator manually connects each of the dial-out
participants to the conference.
