30 Product description
When several conferences occur simultaneously in the same ICB card, the conferee dials the DN assigned to a specific conference. The ICB card identifies the dialed DN and routes the conferee to the appropriate conference represented by that specific DN. The system assigns all ports on the ICB card to the appropriate conference through the ACD DN assigned to that ICB card. The chairperson dials the chairperson DN to a specific conference. This number is different from the DN dialed by the conferees for the same conference.
The ICB performs DTMF detection on ICB ports identified as chairperson ports. DTMF detects when conferees enter a conference password. A conference can start without the chairperson. If all allocated ports for a conference are taken up with conferees, the chairperson cannot join the conference, unless a port is specifically reserved for the chairperson. The chairperson can also join if the system allows conference expansion and there are free,
The first conferee joining the conference hears an announcement indicating that no other conferee has joined the conference, followed by 60 seconds of music. The system repeats the announcement with 60 seconds of music, until another conferee joins the conference.
Join the conference using the single DN access method
The single DN access method to all meetings provides users with a alternative method of accessing the ICB. This feature reduces the amount of Direct Inward Dialing (DID) numbers that have to be configured in the switch and provides the following benefits:
•Saves 20 DID numbers from the customer’s DID range.
•Saves 20 ACD or Phantom DNs in the Meridian system thereby providing a cost savings.
•Simplifies installation as there is no DN pair configuration.
•Saves work if a change in the numbering plan is required in the Meridian system.
