Dial-In Numbers

The 

Single Dial In Number

 allows the MPS to set up mul-

tiple conferences, in an Ad Hoc manner. This is triggered 
by a user dialling in to a single number. The MPS will then 
provide a set of services that enables a user to:

Create a new conference on the fly

• 

Access an already created conference

• 

Put on hold until a conference is created 

• 

In the Ad Hoc Conferences table Create Passwords, Access 
passwords and desired templates may be specified for a 
each conference.

Note that Static, Personal and Direct Ad Hoc confer-
ences may be accessed, but not created through the 
Single Dial In Number.
