IP Office 3.2
Conference Resources
A conference can be created using Conferencing Center, Phone Manager or SoftConsole. Each time a
conference is created resources are used. All the applications share the same conference resources.
System features such as call intrusion, call recording and silent monitoring all use conference resources.
This includes automatic recording if enabled. When any of these features are active, the number of slots
available for conference parties is reduced.
The number of internal users and external callers that can be involved in conferences at the same time is
limited by the conference capacity of your IP Office telephone system.

Note
If IP Office Conferencing Center is installed, 5 resources are reserved for use by the system, for
example, call recording. The maximum number of callers in any one conference and the total
number of people on conference calls is reduced by 5. The maximum number of conferences on
the system for IP403, IP406 and IP412 is reduced by 2.
Examples
1. IP403 and IP 406 support multiple conferences adding up to 64 callers in conferences.
21 x 3 way conferences
1 x 10 way conference plus 11 x 3 way conferences. Free capacity for 20 more
conference callers to join new or existing conferences.
2. IP412 supports multiple conferences totaling up to 128 callers in conference with no more than
64 callers in any one conference.
The IP412 supports two 63 party conference banks. When a new conference is started,
the bank with the most free capacity is used for that conference. However once a
conference is started on one conference bank, that conference cannot use any free
capacity from the other conference bank.
