Ad Hoc Conferencing and

External Database

Authentication

The RMX Ad Hoc conferencing feature enables participants to start ongoing conferences on-the-fly, without prior definition when dialing an Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue. The created conference parameters are taken from the Profile assigned to the Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue.

Ad Hoc conferencing is available in two modes:

Ad Hoc Conferencing without Authentication

Any participant can dial into an Entry Queue and initiate a new conference if the conference does not exist. This mode is usually used for the organization’s internal Ad Hoc conferencing.

Ad Hoc conferencing with external database authentication

In this mode, the participant’s right to start a new conference is validated against a database.

The external database application can also be used to validate the participant’s right to join an ongoing conference. Conference access authentication can be:

Part of the Ad Hoc conferencing flow where the participants must be authorized before they can enter the conference created in the Ad Hoc flow.

Independent of Ad Hoc conferencing where conference access is validated for all conferences running on the MCU regardless of the method in which the conference was started.
