Entry Queues

An Entry Queue (EQ) is a special routing lobby to access conferences. Participants connect to a single-dial lobby and are routed to their

destination conference according to the Conference ID they enter. The Entry Queue remains in a passive state when there are no callers in the queue (in between connections) and is automatically activated once a caller dials its dial-in number. The connection of ISDN/PSTN participants to conferences is enabled only via Entry Queues to which an ISDN/PSTN dial-in number is assigned.

The maximum of number of Entry Queues that can be defined is:

RMX 2000 — 40

RMX 4000 — 80

The parameters (bit rate and video properties) with which the participants connect to the Entry Queue and later to their destination conference are defined in the Conference Profile that is assigned to the Entry Queue. For example, if the Profile Bit Rate is set to 384 Kbps, all endpoints connect to the Entry Queue and later to their destination conference using this bit rate even if they are capable of connecting at higher bit rates.

An Entry Queue IVR Service must be assigned to the Entry Queue to enable the voice prompts guiding the participants through the connection process. The Entry Queue IVR Service also includes a video slide that is displayed to the participants while staying in the Entry Queue (during their connection process).
