Participants	connect to the conference at one time, taking into
	account both the defined and undefined participants.
	Use this option to save resources for other
	conferences.
	When set to Auto, the maximum number of
	participants is determined by the maximum number
	of participants in a conference supported by the
	MCU, or the availability of the MCU resources.
	Note:
	During an On Going conference, you can also limit
	the number of participants by preventing additional
	dial-in participants from connecting to the
	conference by locking the conference by clicking the
	Lock conference icon from the Toolbar.
Cascade	Cascading is an option that enables you to run a
	conference which is connected directly to other
	conferences. The conferences may run on different
	MCUs or on the same MCU (for large conferences
	that exceed the maximum number of participants per
	conference). This field is used to enable and select
	the Cascading mode. For more information, see the
	MGC Manager User’s Guide, Vol. II.
Master	When setting a Slave conference, the Cascading
	field should be set to Slave, and the name of the
	participant that acts as the link to the master
	conference should be selected from the Master field
	drop-down list. For more information, see the MGC
	Manager User’s Guide, Vol. II.
