Polycom 8 manual Meeting Rooms List

Chapter 8 - Meeting Rooms List

An IVR-enabled Meeting Room can be configured to start only when the chairperson connects to the Meeting Room. In such a case, participants connecting to the Meeting Room prior to the chairperson connection are placed on hold and hear background music (when available) and see the Welcome video slide (in video Meeting Rooms). If the chairperson does not connect in a predefined time period the conference is automatically terminated.

In an IVR-enabled Meeting Room that is set to start only when the chairperson connects to the Meeting Room, the Meeting Room automatically terminates if the chairperson does not connect in a predefined time period. The time period (default is 20 minutes) is defined in the “system.cfg”, Greet and Guide/IVR section by the flag: LEADER_WAITING_TIME_OUT = 20. For more details see the MGC Administrator’s Guide, chapter 5.

The conference is automatically terminated when the last participant quits the conference (if Auto Termination is selected or in an IVR-enabled conference, when the chairperson exits the conference). The conference can be manually terminated by the operator, or conference initiator. Once the conference is terminated, the MCU checks the conference recurrence setting. If the conference is still valid for re-activation, the conference resumes its passive state, waiting for another initiating call. Otherwise, the conference is deleted from the MCU upon termination of the conference.

An operator may delete a Meeting Room via the MGC Manager to prevent its re-activation.

•The Meeting Room is not erased when the MCU is reset.

•Meeting Rooms can be defined only if the appropriate Customer Permission loaded in the MCU (“system.cfg” file).
