Chapter 4 - Operations Performed During On Going Conferences

For a description of all the participants’ connection status indications and icons, see Table 3-2: On Going Conference - Monitor Pane Columns, page 3-7.

Changing Participant Connection Types (Dial-In/Dial-Out)

You can change the connection type used by the participant to connect to the conference. For example, when the participant cannot dial-in and you want the MCU to dial-out to the participant, you can toggle between the dial-in and dial-out connection type.

•The Connection Type parameter can be changed only when the participant is disconnected from the conference and both dial-in and dial-out parameters are defined in the Participant Properties - Identification dialog box.

•If the dial-in phone numbers are not defined for the participant when switching to dial-in and the Meet Me Per option is set to MCU - conference, the system automatically allocates the appropriate phone numbers from the list of dial-in numbers defined in the Network Service that was selected for participants.

•If the Meet Me Per option is set to Party or Channel, and no CLI number is defined for the participant, the system will reject the participant’s call.

To toggle between Connection Types:

1.In the Monitor pane, Status pane or Browser pane, list the participants defined for the conference.

2.Right-click the participant's icon whose connection type needs to be changed, and then click Dial In or Dial Out (depending on the participant's current definition).

The system toggles between dial-in and dial-out depending on the current participant connection type.
