Chapter 3: Telephone System Configuration
Now that you have established the conference bridge extension and
password codes, you can set your conference room options.
Marked/Admin User Extension - This option works in conjunction
with the Wait for Marked User feature. If the conference bridge is to
have marked users or admin users, those users should enter the confer-
ence from a separate extension. Admin users can lock and unlock the
conference, and can kick the most recent conference participant.
Marked users are special users whose entrance and exit, if the Wait
for Marked User or Close Conference When Last Marked User
Exits are selected, can either begin or end the conference. If the CEO
of the company, for example, doesn’t want anyone chatting in the con-
ference bridge until he or she arrives, these options are set to keep
everything quiet. The main conference extension of 6003 is configured
with Wait for Marked User selected. Everyone in the conference arriv-
ing from extension 6003 remains silent until the CEO arrives.
Play hold music for first caller - Checking this option makes music
play for the first caller entering a conference until another caller joins.
Some people don’t like sitting in a quiet room — even a virtual room
— alone, and this feature prevents anyone from being in that position.
Enable caller menu - This feature allows callers to access the Confer-
ence Bridge Menu by pressing the asterisk (*) key.
Quiet Mode - Do not play enter/leave sounds when callers join or
leave the conference.
Close Conference When Last Marked User Exits - When this
option is selected, the conference call will be closed when the last
marked user exits the call.
Announce callers - All new callers to a conference are identified
when they arrive when this feature is selected.
