Chapter 6: Using the Conference bridge
Introduction to conference bridge
Your system provides you with a virtual conference room (bridge). All conference participants
which have dialed into the bridge are connected to one another.
The conference bridge has the following features:
• Depending on the structure of your system, up to 9 internal and external subscribers can
dial into the conference bridge.
• For secure dialing to the conference bridge, use access PINs. During non-reserved
conference times, you can also use the Standard PIN.
• Reservations can only be made in a preset 15 minute pattern. There must be a gap of at
least 15 minutes between two reservations.
• You may not require a moderator on a conference call, or you may designate one caller
to act as one. The moderator can perform functions such as muting participants as
required or selecting a participant as a single speaker at other times.
Dialing into conference bridge
You can dial into the conference bridge from any internal or external telephone.
You can use a non-reserved conference bridge at any time if the conference has been setup
using the standard PIN set by the administrator.
1. Dial the number of the conference room from an internal or an external telephone.
Wait for a dial tone.
2. Enter your access PIN number.
All conference subscribers hear a brief alert tone. You are now part of the
conference.
If you are alone in the conference bridge, you hear on-hold music.
3. To leave the conference, replace the handset.
