Meeting Rooms List

A Meeting Room is a reservation set to Meet Me Per Conference, without resource allocation. The reservation is saved in the MCU memory and is inactive and remains inactive for an unlimited time, until the first participant connects to it. Other participants may join the conference by dialing in. Meeting Rooms may be defined in the MGC Manager application and the MGC WebCommander application.

The Meeting Room is set (by default) to Allow Undefined Parties with a default duration of 2 hours, generally intended as a dial-in conference and can have any of the available conference attributes. It is recommended to define it also as an Auto Terminate conference. You can select the number of times the Meeting Room may be activated. The Meeting Room remains in sleep mode (passive) in between activations.

The dial-in numbers allocated to the Meeting Room can be automatically allocated by the MCU (based on the dial-in numbers allocated to the MCU by the carrier and defined in the ISDN Network Services) or manually in the Meet Me Service section, as described for the Meet Me Per Conference mode. In the same way, the H.323 Network Service prefix may be automatically or manually assigned to the Meeting Room. For details see Chapter 7, “Conference Types” on page 7-5.

If dial-out participants are also defined for the conference, the system automatically dials out to these participants the moment the conference is activated. The operator or conference initiator may lock the conference to additional dial-in participants at any time.

A Meeting room can also be defined with Entry Queue Access, (with or without IVR service). In such a case no dial-in numbers are allocated to the Meeting Room.
