Starting an Ongoing Conference From a Template

An ongoing conference can be started from any Conference Template saved in the Conference Templates list.

SVC-based Conference Templates cannot be saved with dial-out participants, only dial-in SIP participants may be defined.

To start an ongoing conference from a template:

1In the Conference templates list, select the template you want to start as an ongoing conference.

2 Click the Start Conference from Template ( ) button, or right-click and select Start Conference from Template.

The conference is started.

If an AVC-based CP Conference Template is assigned an ISDN/PSTN dial-in number that is already assigned to an ongoing conference, Meeting Room, Entry Queue or Gateway Profile, when the template is used to start an ongoing conference or schedule a reservation it will not start. However, the same number can be assigned to several conference templates provided they are not used to start an ongoing conference at the same time. If a dial in number conflict occurs prior to the conference’s start time, an alert appears: “ISDN dial-in number is already assigned to another conferencing entity” and the conference cannot start.

The name of the ongoing conference in the Conferences list is taken from the conference template Display Name.

Participants that are connected to other ongoing conferences when the template becomes an ongoing conference are not connected.

If an ongoing conference, Meeting Room or Entry Queue with the same Display Name, Routing Name or ID already exist in the system, the conference will not be started.
