Managing and Using MeetMe
Conference
MAXCS provides two different types of conference bridges, Station and MeetMe
Conference. Station conferencing is handled from the phone or the desktop client on the
fly and requires no configuration in MaxAdmin.
The MeetMe Conference is a group conferencing feature that requires the following:
•
A phone meeting needs to be scheduled first by the conferencing host through the
client application, or by the system administrator in MaxAdmin.
•
All participating parties need to dial into the MeetMe conference extension number
and enter the Meeting ID (and, optionally, password) to join the conference.
Hardware requirements :
•
For all OFFICE Chassis series, a 30-port Triton MeetMe conference board (ALTI-
CONF-30) is required.
•
Only one Triton MeetMe conference board is supported per system.
•
MAX1000 server has a built-in MeetMe conference (12-port) resource in the
embedded DSP. No additional hardware is required.
MeetMe Conference Features
•
Multiple meetings can be held at the same time, as long as the reserved resources
do not exceed 30. (For the MAX1000 system, the reserved resources cannot exceed
12, and up to two meetings can be held at the same time. If Gateway Expansion/
HMCP are used, all the MeetMe resources should be in the HMCP server, and no
MeetMe Conferece board should be in a gateway chassis.)
•
Meetings can be set up and administered in MaxCommunicator, MaxAgent, and
MaxAdmin.
•
You can set up a single meeting or a meeting that recurs at regular intervals.
•
MeetMe Conference creates an invitation to a meeting, and offers the option to open
Microsoft Outlook to send the invitation to people you specify.
•
Option to announce participant's name when joining or leaving the conference. This
feature can be configured by the meeting scheduler.
•
Meeting host can Mute/Un-Mute, and drop meeting participants using the desktop
client.
•
Meeting host can surrender the meeting control to another extension.
