CUVC. Each CUVC number must be unique for each CTMS

 

 

 

conference. The CUVC number consists of the service prefix and

 

 

 

then the remaining dialed digits. The service prefix can be the same

 

 

 

for different meetings. The remaining digits in the dialed number

 

 

 

designate the CUVC meeting instance.

 

 

 

Each CTMS conference requires its own CUVC meeting instance.

Ad Hoc Meetings

Ad Hoc meetings are impromptu meetings. Unlike static meetings (which, after they are defined, stay active indefinitely), Ad Hoc meetings begin when they are configured, and end when the last meeting room disconnects from the meeting, or when the administrator or conference-scheduler ends the meeting. With Ad Hoc meetings, the CTMS dials meeting rooms invited to attend the meeting; after the start of a meeting, the administrator can add rooms through the Active Meetings page.

If you have meetings that regularly include a particular set of meeting rooms, you can create meeting templates; meeting templates are predefined groups of CTMS meeting room (end points).

Note Ad Hoc meeting do not support interoperability meetings in CTMS Release 1.1.
