Operations Performed During On Going Conferences

During an On Going Conference, the MGC Manager operator can perform many management tasks at the conference level or at the participant level.

Operations at the participant level affect individual connections, while those at the conference level affect several or all participants of the conference.

Operators can terminate a conference before the originally scheduled ending or extend its duration. Alternatively, they can disconnect an individual participant while the conference is in progress or temporarily mute the transmission to enable other participants to hold a private discussion. Operators can establish an operator-controlled dial-out connection during the conference and add a new participants during session.

Some conference management tasks can also be performed by chairpersons from their endpoint, using DTMF codes or the WebCommander application.

This chapter describes the activities and options available to the operator or the chairperson during an On Going Conference.
