There are several ways to start a conference:
• Clicking the New Conference button in the Conferences pane. For more
information, see "Starting a Conference from the Conferences Pane” on
page 3-25.
• Dialing in to a Meeting Room.
— A Meeting Room is a conference that is saved on the MCU. It
remains in passive mode until it is activated by the first
participant, or the meeting organizer, dialing in.
For more information about Meeting Rooms, see the RMX 1500/2000/
4000 Administrator’s Guide, "Meeting Rooms” on page 3-1.
• Dialing in to an Ad Hoc Entry Queue which is used as the access
point to the MCU.
For a detailed description of Ad Hoc Entry Queues, see the
RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, "Entry Queues” on
page 4-1.

becomes ongoing, at the specified time on the specified date.
For more information, see "Starting a Reservation” on page 3-41.
