Access

the conference via an Entry Queue. When selected,

 

the participant must dial the Entry Queue dial-in

 

number and enter the correct conference password

 

in order to be transferred to this conference.

 

An Entry Queue is a special routing lobby queue to

 

which one or more dial-in numbers are assigned.

 

When callers dial the assigned number, they access

 

a queue, where, using voice prompts, they are

 

guided to the appropriate conference. If the

 

participants fail to connect to the conference, they

 

may be helped by the operator (if the Operator

 

Assistance option is enabled for the Entry Queue).

 

The Entry Queue remains in a passive state when

 

there are no callers in the queue (in between

 

connections) and is automatically activated once a

 

caller dials its dial-in number.

 

Note: If this conference is also set as Meet Me Per

 

Conf to which a separate dial-in number is assigned,

 

the participant can also connect directly to the

 

conference using this number.

 

To save the dial-in number, do not select Meet Me

 

Per Conf.

 

The Entry Queue is defined in the MGC Manager.

 

For more information on defining the Entry Queue,

 

refer to the MGC Manager User's Guide, Volume I,

 

Chapter 8 Version.
