Special icons are used to indicate the participant status in an On Going
conference.
Dial-out participants are usually connected directly to the conference. Dial-
out participants are called by the MCU and are connected to the conference
when the connection between the MCU and the endpoint is established.
Dial-in participants can also connect directly to the conference depending on
the conference settings. Dial-in participants who are defined prior to the
conference start, call the MCU number and are routed to the appropriate
conference according to their CLI number (as defined in the system). If no
CLI number was defined for a participant, the caller will not be able to
connect to the conference.
Undefined dial-in participants (in a “Meet Me” conference or in a Meeting
Room) or conferences accessed from an Entry Queue dial the Entry Queue,
conference or Meeting Room dial-in number and are connected to the
conference once their endpoint’s capabilities are established. The first
participant that connects to a passive Meeting Room activates the Meeting
Room.
Meeting Director Module

have the permission to monitor it

conferences
