4The MCU checks whether a conference with the same Conference ID is running on the MCU. If there is such a conference, the participant is moved to that conference. If there is no ongoing conference with that Conference ID, the system creates a new conference, based on the Profile assigned to the Entry Queue, and connects this participant as the conference chairperson.

To enable this workflow, the following components must be defined in the system:

•An Entry Queue IVR Service with the appropriate audio file requesting the Conference

•An Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue with an assigned Profile

Ad Hoc Conferencing with Authentication

The MCU can work with an external database application to validate the participant’s right to start a new conference. The external database contains a list of participants, with their assigned parameters. The conference ID entered by the participant is compared against the database. If the system finds a match, the participant is granted the permission to start a new conference.

To work with an external database application to validate the participant’s right to start a new conference, the Entry Queue IVR Service must be configured to use the external database application for authentication. In the external database application, you must define all participants (users) with rights to start a new conference using Ad Hoc conferencing. For each user defined in the database, you enter the conference ID, Conference Password (optional) and Chairperson Password (when applicable), billing code, Conference general information (corresponding to the User Defined 1 field in the Profile properties) and user’s PIN code. The same user definitions can be used for conference access authentication, that is, to determine who can join the conference as a participant and who as a chairperson.
