Microsoft—Polycom Meeting Scenarios

Ad-hoc Entry Queue and Conference Creation

This procedure is similar to the Single Dial Entry Queue procedure, with the exception that the Meeting Room is not defined in the MGC Manager in advance and the ongoing conference is created on-the-fly.

In addition, the Entry Queue must be set as Ad-hoc, and the conference Profile must be assigned to it.

When the user enters the target conference ID, the MCU checks for an ongoing conference with this ID. If such a conference does not exist, a new conference is created using the parameters defined in the conference Profile. The conference ID sent by the user (using DTMF codes) is

assigned to the new conference.

This scenario is supported only with Office Communicator and is the recommended scenario for Office Communicator users as no Meeting Rooms have to be defined in advance and stored in the MCU memory. This scenario is not supported with Windows Messenger as it does not support DTMF codes.

For a detailed description of Ad-hoc conferencing and External database Authentication, see Chapter 4.
