participants can dial in using this number. Note
that the actual number that participants will dial
depends on whether prefixes are used in the

For an active ad hoc conference, you cannot
configure the Numeric ID.
Provides a level of security to conference access.
If a conference has a PIN set, users cannot join
the conference or change its configuration
without entering the correct PIN. Depending on
the conference settings, it may be possible for
participants to join a conference as a chairperson
(using the Numeric ID and PIN), or as a guest
(using the Guest numeric ID and Guest PIN).
For an ad hoc conference, you can configure a
PIN while the conference is running.
The unique identifier used for dialing in to the
conference (as a guest participant) using an auto
attendant or through an H.323 gatekeeper or SIP
registrar. This number can also be used to stream
the conference from the Streaming-only interface.
For more information about chairpersons and
guests, refer to Using IDs and PINs.
When connected to an auto attendant,
participants can join a conference by typing its
Guest numeric ID.
If you plan to allow audio-only participants, then
you will need to enter either a Numeric ID or a
Guest numeric ID.
If H.323 gatekeeper registration is enabled for a
conference, and you have entered a Guest
numeric ID, the MCU attempts to register the
conference with an E.164 telephone number,
which is comprised of the Registration prefix and
the Guest numeric ID.
If SIP registration is enabled for a conference, and
you have entered a Guest numeric ID, then the
Guest numeric ID is registered with the SIP
registrar.
Conferences that are simultaneously active must
not share a Numeric ID. For example, a conference
on a Tuesday and a conference on a Thursday can
share a Numeric ID, whereas two permanent
conferences cannot share a Numeric ID. The same
number can be used for the Guest numeric ID, if
there are two different PINs. Additionally,
because the numeric identifier is used in
gatekeeper registration, conferences and auto
attendants cannot share a numeric identifier
value.
For more information, refer to Using IDs and
PINs.
Ad hoc conferences cannot be configured with
Guest numeric IDs or PINs.
