Permanent Conference
A Permanent Conference is any ongoing conference with no pre-determined End Time
continuing until it is terminated by an administrator, operator or chairperson.
Guidelines
• Resources are reserved for a Permanent Conference only when the conference has become
ongoing.
• Resources are allocated to a Permanent Conference according to the Reserve Resources for
Video Participants field. If the number of defined dial-out participants exceeds the value
of this field, the Collaboration Server automatically replaces the number in the Reserve
Resources for Video Participants field with the number of defined dial-out participants in
the Permanent Conference.
•Auto Terminate is disabled in Permanent Conferences.
• If participants disconnect from the Permanent Conference, resources that were reserved
for its video and audio participants are released.
•Entry Queues, Conference Reservations and SIP Factories cannot be defined as Permanent
Conferences.
• Additional participants can connect to the conference, or be added by the operator, if
sufficient resources are available.
• The maximum size of the Call Detail Record (CDR) for a Permanent Conference is 1MB.
