Figure D-2Conference Initiation Validation with External Database Application

1The participant dials in to an Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue.

2The participant is requested to enter the Conference ID.

3The participant enters the conference ID via his/her endpoint remote control using DTMF codes. If there is an ongoing conference with this Conference ID, the participant is moved to that conference where another authentication process can occur, depending on the IVR Service configuration.

4If there is no ongoing conference with that Conference ID, the MCU verifies the Conference ID with the database application that compares it against its database. If the database application finds a match, the external database application sends a response back to the MCU, granting the participant the right to start a new ongoing conference.

If this Conference ID is not registered in the database, the conference cannot be started and this participant is disconnected from the Entry Queue.

5The external database contains a list of participants (users), with their assigned parameters. Once a participant is identified in the database (according to the conference ID), his/her parameters (as defined in the database) can be sent to the MCU in the same response granting the participant the right to start a new ongoing conference. These parameters are:

—Conference Name

—Conference Billing code

—Conference Password

—Chairperson Password
