Figure 7-2: Conference Access via Entry Queue using the Conference Password and Conference IVR

As shown in Figure 7-2, one or several dial-in numbers are allocated to an Entry Queue. In addition, a password is assigned to each conference. The dial-in number (which is usually the same for all participants regardless of the conference they attend), and the appropriate conference password are communicated to conference participants. When participants dial-in using the number communicated to them, they connect to the Entry Queue where they are requested to enter the appropriate conference password. According to this password, participants are routed to the appropriate conference.

When an IVR Service is assigned to the conference, participants are guided to the conference by voice prompts to use DTMF codes and are requested to enter the required chairperson password or wait to be automatically connected to the conference. They can also be prompted for additional information such as their billing code.

When an IVR Service is not assigned to the conference, participants are moved directly from the Entry Queue to the conference.
