In both cases the User would be asked for the conference PIN if configured and a beep would confirm
that the conference has been successfully started.
A Meet Me Conference can be started via a DDI Plan
entry similar to this example. Please note that Translate
to field can contain !CC or !ConferenceCreate.
After dialling the DDI number the user will be asked to
enter the conference number followed by #, eg 7987#.
If a number has been entered in the Pin field for this
conference the user will be asked to enter the
conference PIN followed by #, eg 1234#. A beep will
confirm that the conference has been successfully
started.
Users and external contacts can then join a conference either via a Dial Plan entry or DDI Plan entry as
described below in Joining a Meet Me Conference. (However, please note that if a User dials a Dial Plan
entry or DDI Entry similar to those described above for a conference that had already been started this
User would join the conference.)
Both the Dial Plan entry and DDI Plan entry described above can be used to create and start a new Meet
Me Conference. When asked for the conference number any number can be entered unless used for an
existing Meet Me Conference. A Meet Me Conference entry will be automatically created and can be
viewed via Manager. The extension number or DDI number of the originator of the conference will be
displayed in the Organiser field. The Start Time field will contain the time the conference was initiated
and the End Time field will contain the time 30 minutes later. This means Users must join this
conference, as described below, within 30 minutes of its creation. The conference will be open for as
long as someone is in the conference, however if a User drops out they will not be able to join again if
the 30 minutes has passed. If the User initiating the conference belongs to a Company the Meet Me
Conference entry will be displayed under the specific Company within Manager. Please refer to the
Working with Companies section from page 177 for further information.
A Dial Plan entry can also be used to create and start a Meet Me Conference where the conference
number is the extension number of the User that originated the conference. In this case the Translate To
field would contain !ConferenceCreate:%s or !CC:%s.
Joining a Meet Me Conference
A Meet Me Conference can be joined via a Dial Plan entry or DDI Plan entry.
To allow Users to join a Meet Me Conference internally
a Dial Plan similar to this example can be used. Please
note that Translate to field can contain !CJ or
!ConferenceJoin.
