Microsoft—Polycom Meeting Scenarios

Single Dial Entry Queue

An Entry Queue is used as a special routing lobby to all Meeting Rooms and conferences, enabling one dial-in number to be used for joining all conferences. Participants are routed to the destination conference by

entering the conference ID using DTMF codes.

This scenario is supported only with Office Communicator. Windows Messenger does not support DTMF codes.

In this mode, only one or a few Entry Queues are defined and added to the Office Communicator contacts list, which keeps the list small and easy to manage, while with Meeting Rooms, it requires each Meeting Room to be defined and added to the contacts list resulting in a long list.

The Entry Queue is created and added to the buddy list of Office Communicator. The target conferences (Meeting Rooms) are also created in the MGC Manager application. This is the recommended meeting scenario.
