Chairperson Initiated Blast Dial-out

The chairperson or participant (depending on the configured permission) can indicate to the system when to start the blast dial-out to multiple pre- defined participants using the appropriate DTMF code.

This option prevents the system from automatically dialing out to pre- defined participants in a Meeting Room. The chairperson can indicate to the system to connect all predefined dial-out participants or to dial to individual dial-out participants by indicating their sequential order number in the list of participants defined for the conference.

In such a case, the chairperson will enter the appropriate DTMF code followed by the participant number on the list. For example, if the DTMF code is *25 for blast dial-out, to instruct the system to dial to the third participant on the list, the chairperson will enter *253. To instruct the system to dial-out to all pre-defined participants in one operation the chairperson enters just the DTMF code, for example (*25).
