Connection to the Entry Queue
An undefined participant connecting to an Entry Queue inherits the encryption characteristics of the Entry
Queue as defined in the Entry Queue’s profile.
Participants can be moved from the Entry Queue and the destination conference if both conferencing
entities have the same Profile settings, i.e. from SVC Only Entry Queue to SVC Only conference and from
mixed CP and SVC Entry Queue to a mixed CP and SVC conference, etc.
The following table summarizes the connection possibilities for a participant that is to be moved from an
Entry Queue to a destination conference for each of the conference Profile and Entry Queue encryption
options.
Moving from the Entry Queue to Conferences or Between Conferences
Participants can be moved from the Entry Queue and the destination conference if both conferencing
entities have the same Profile settings, i.e. from SVC Only Entry Queue to SVC Only conference and from
mixed CP and SVC Entry Queue to a mixed CP and SVC conference, etc.
When moving participants from the Entry Queue to the destination conference, or when the Collaboration
Server user moves AVC participants from one conference to another (SVC participants cannot be moved
between conferences), the connection rules are similar and they are summarized in the table below:

*Flag = No *Flag = YES
No Encryption Connected, non-encrypted
(Encryption is not declared by the
Collaboration Server, therefore endpoint

Encrypt All Connected only if encrypted.
Non-encrypted endpoints are
disconnected Connected only if encrypted.
Non-encrypted endpoints are
disconnected
Encrypt When Possible Connected encrypted - Endpoints with
encryption capabilities.
Connected non-encrypted - endpoints
without encryption capabilities Connected only if encrypted.
Non-encrypted endpoints are
disconnected.
