Telephone User Interface
Overview
The Nortel Networks Integrated Conference Bridge provides a Dual Tone
Multi-Frequency (DTMF), menu-driven Telephone User Interface (TUI).
The TUI enables the chairperson and conferees to initiate commands
during an active conference (for example, to mute a caller).
A separate service enables booking a conference by using the
telephone’s keypad. Also, a conference owner can record a conference-
specific greeting, or an administrator can record a system greeting. Dial a
unique DN to access the TUI service, then schedule a conference or
record a greeting by following the voice menu’s instructions.
To use the TUI scheduler, enter a TUI user name and password.
Scheduling a conference
When a port is reserved for the TUI, x-1 ports are available for the
conference, where x is the total number of ports in the card. After a
conference is scheduled using the TUI, the conference can be viewed,
modified, or deleted using the Browser User Interface (BUI).
The conference defined from the TUI has default attributes. When
prompted by a voice menu, insert the conference parameters through the
telephone keypad. The ICB plays messages when an error is made.
Note:
You have up to seven minutes to schedule a conference with
the TUI. After seven minutes, the ICB plays a voice message
indicating that the allocated time is over. The ICB then disconnects
the call.
The ICB sets up the following default attributes:
•
entry and exit by name
•
no custom greeting
•
no conference expansion
