Configure DNs for a dual-card conference

When a dual-card conference is defined, two meetings are defined on two cards. First, the meeting is booked on the primary card allocating the maximum free ports. Second, the meeting is booked on the secondary card allocating the rest of free ports for the dual-card conference. The user defines a dual-card conference only on the primary card.

When a user dials into a dual-card conference, the call can terminate either on the primary or on the secondary card. Calls to the dual-card conference main ACD DN are forwarded according to the ACD time overflow night table.

On both cards (primary and secondary), the user cannot use the dual-card conference pair DNs for a simple meeting. Therefore, nine DNs are available for simple meeting and bridges.

For a dual-card configuration, one card functions as the primary card and the other as the secondary card. Define for each card an ACD data block with an ACD DN in LD 23, as shown in Table 5 on page 48.

For the primary card, configure the following DNs:

DN pairs (up to nine) – These pairs serve as chairperson and conferee DNs for single-card conferences (less than 32 ports) on the primary card.

Note: If single-number access is being used, DN pairs are not required. Instead, define the single-number access DN in this step which callers use to access a simple conference on the primary card.

TUI DN – This is the DN that users dial to set up single-card conferences on the primary card. Do not configure this DN, if the TUI is not going to be used.

Chairperson DN – This is the DN that chairperson of a dual-card conference dials to enter a dual-card conference. This DN is required for dual-card setup.

Therefore, for the primary card, configure up to 20 DNs in LD 23 that Night Call Forward (NCFW) to the ACD DN of the primary card.
