queue where they are requested to enter the conference password and other information using the telephone touch-tone keypads. The callers are admitted to the conference when they have keyed in the appropriate conference password and/or chairperson password.

In the system, such a conference may be defined as:

•Standard with IVR Service

•Meeting Room with IVR Service

The system can automatically allocate the conference and chairperson passwords (depending on the MCU configuration).

Different IVR Services can be created, allowing customization of the menu-driven scripts and voice prompts to meet different needs and different languages. The IVR Services are assigned at the conference level, and different conferences may use different IVR Services, or the same IVR service can be used for all conferences.

Dial-out participants (operator dial-out or system dial-out) connecting to the conference may also enter the IVR queue, if the IVR service assigned to the conference is configured to prompt dial-out participants for conference password.

Direct Dialing and Access

There are different methods for dialing into the conference:

•Using the MCU dial-in number and defining the participants prior to the conference start. The MCU dial-in number is communicated to the participants. When they connect to the MCU they are routed to their corresponding conference according to their CLI number.

•Meet Me Per Conference - Assigning a dial-in number to each conference and defining the conference as “Meet Me”, allowing undefined participants to connect to the conference.

The meeting organizer/operator assigns a dial-in phone number to each conference designated as Meet Me Per Conference. The conference dial-in number is given to all the conference participants who use it to directly connect to the conference. Using this mode, any participant who dials the conference number can connect to the conference until all the MCU resources are utilized or the maximum number of participants is reached.
