Using the MCU

Creating conferences

To create a conference:

1 In the web interface of the MCU, go to Conferences and click Add new conference.

2Type a Name for the conference, for example SalesMeeting.

3Type an optional numeric identifier, for example 123. This will be the telephone number that participants can use to join the conference when calling in to the MCU via a gatekeeper or SIP registrar.

There are two types of conference participant: chairperson and guest.

iIDs and PINs allow participants to connect to conferences as the correct participant type. Chairperson participants use the Numeric ID and optionally, the PIN; guest participants use the Guest numeric ID and optionally, the Guest PIN. For more information, refer to the online help.

4If you are using a gatekeeper, check H.323 gatekeeper; if you are using a SIP registrar, check SIP registrar.

5Ensure the Maximum duration of the conference is sufficient (the default is one hour).

6All other values can be left at their default settings. Refer to the online help for further information about the available settings.

Note that if you do not configure the conference to start immediately, it

iwill become a scheduled conference and will be inactive until its start time.

7 Scroll down and click Add conference.

The conference you have created is now active (if you used the default immediate start time) and participants can join in one of two ways: either the MCU can call out to specified endpoints or endpoints can dial in. Any endpoints that have been added to a conference, as pre-configured participants, will be called in to the conference by the MCU.
