Chapter 5 - Administrator’s Tasks

On Going conference with this numeric ID, the participant is moved to that conference and another authentication process may occur, depending on the conference IVR Service configuration.

4.If there is no On Going conference with that Numeric ID, the MCU sends the Numeric ID to the WebCommander Web Server to verify if its database contains a user with this assigned Numeric ID and if this user is allowed to initiate new conferences.

5.If the WebCommander Web Server finds such a user, it sends a confirmation to start the conference back to the MCU. The new conference is started based on the Profile assigned to the Entry Queue.

6.In addition to the confirmation to start the conference, the WebCommander Web Server sends the MCU the conference parameters that are part of the user definition in the database Users table:

Conference Entry Password

Chairperson Password

Billing Code

Conference Information (corresponding to conference User Defined 1 field)

These parameters overwrite the conference Profile definitions for these fields.

If no information is included in the Users table of the database, the information is taken from the Profile.

If the Profile does not contain definitions for these fields, they remain empty, and participants will be able to connect to the conference without entering the conference entry password or chairperson password (depending on the IVR Service configuration).

The conference is derived from the User name as defined in the WebCommander Server Manager-Users table and the conference numeric ID in the following format: user name_numeric ID.

7.Once the conference is started, the participant who initiated the conference is moved to the conference. If no IVR Service is assigned to the conference, or if the IVR Service is configured without conference Entry Password or without chairperson password prompts and functionality, the participant is connected directly to the conference.
