Telephone User Interface

Telephone User Interface

Overview

The Nortel Networks Integrated Conference Bridge provides a Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF), menu-driven Telephone User Interface (TUI). The TUI enables the chairperson and conferees to initiate commands during an active conference (for example, to mute a caller).

A separate service enables booking a conference by using the telephone’s keypad. Also, a conference owner can record a conference- specific greeting, or an administrator can record a system greeting. Dial a unique DN to access the TUI service, then schedule a conference or record a greeting by following the voice menu’s instructions.

To use the TUI scheduler, enter a TUI user name and password.

Scheduling a conference

When a port is reserved for the TUI, x-1 ports are available for the conference, where x is the total number of ports in the card. After a conference is scheduled using the TUI, the conference can be viewed, modified, or deleted using the Browser User Interface (BUI).

The conference defined from the TUI has default attributes. When prompted by a voice menu, insert the conference parameters through the telephone keypad. The ICB plays messages when an error is made.

Note: You have up to seven minutes to schedule a conference with the TUI. After seven minutes, the ICB plays a voice message indicating that the allocated time is over. The ICB then disconnects the call.

The ICB sets up the following default attributes:

entry and exit by name

no custom greeting

no conference expansion
