Numeric ID

In Ad Hoc Conferencing, the Numeric ID is used for

 

authentication purposes. When a participant

 

connects to an Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue, which

 

is configured to access the WebCommander as the

 

external database application, the Numeric ID is

 

used to verify whether the participant is authorized to

 

start a new on going conference.

 

If the Numeric ID exists in the WebCommander

 

database, a new conference is started and this

 

Numeric ID is assigned to the conference. The

 

Participant who has started the On Going

 

conference is automatically created and added to

 

the conference.

 

If the Numeric ID does not exist in the external

 

database, the participant is disconnected from the

 

MCU.
