Connecting to an On Going Conference
Defined dial-in participants can connect directly to the conference. Undefined
participants can connect to a Standard conference via an Entry Queue, or
directly if the conference is defined as a “Meet Me Per Conference” or as a
Meeting Room.

Defined ISDN Participants Dial-in

ISDN participants can dial in to a conference directly or via an Entry Queue.
For direct dial-in, the participant’s CLI (dial-in number) is added to the
participant definition and the participants are given the MCU dial-in number.
When they dial the MCU number, the system recognizes their CLI number
and routes them to their conference accordingly.
Defined participants connecting to a “Meet Me per Conference” use the
dial-in number assigned to the conference and are connected directly to that
conference. The system behaves in the same way with defined and undefined
participants.
The dial-in number assigned to a “Meet Me per Conference” can be viewed in
the MGC Manager main window Status pane.
To display the list of On Going Conferences, and their assigned dial-in
numbers, click the On Going Conferences icon in the Browser pane.
If the conference is assigned an IVR Service, conference and chairperson
passwords can be assigned to the conference. In such conferences, when the
appropriate prompts are played, the participant must enter the correct passwords
to access the conference.
