Conference Access

When H.323 and ISDN participants connect directly to the conference, they can be defined or undefined participants. Undefined Participants can connect to an encrypted conference only if the endpoint’s encryption is set to YES; otherwise, the endpoint’s encryption is considered as if set to NO.

Encrypted ISDN/PSTN Participant can connect to a non-encrypted conference while encrypted H.323 participants cannot connect to a non- encrypted conference.

Non-encrypted participants can connect to an encrypted conference only if they are defined in the conference’s participants list (defined participants) and the system flag ALLOW_NON_ENCRYPT_PARTY_IN_ENCRYPT_CONF is set to YES. This flag does not apply to undefined participants. Table 2-7summarizes

the conference access options for defined participants:
