General Settings
The
General Settings
page is used to configure the basic
conference settings.
The page contains the following components:
Conference ID
indicates the unique ID of the conference.
Description
indicates any descriptive information about the
conference.
Moderator Password
text field requires a password for the
moderator access to the conference. The password inserted here
should be used by the moderator to join the conference. Moderator
is able to use conference codes during the active call conference
as well as to access conference specific GUI pages and coordinate
the conference (view/change conference properties,
activate/deactivate it, start/stop/resume recording, view conference
statistics).
Confirm
text field requires the confirmation of the
Moderator Password. Error appears if the password inserted in the
Confirm
text field does not match the one inserted in the
Moderator Password
text field.
Participant Password
can be entered to require a password for
participant access to the conference. It has to be entered twice for
confirmation. The password entered here should be used by the
participant to join the conference. The participant can participate in
the conference only according to the rights (speaker or listener)
granted by the moderator.

Max. Duration
sets the conference to be limited to a maximum duration (in minutes). Leave the field empty for unlimited conference duration.
With the
Play Hold Music Until Moderator is Connected
checkbox selected, participants connected to the conference will listen to the hold music
unless moderator will join the conference.
Automatic Speaker Detection
checkbox enables the automatic detection of the loudest participant in the conference (the current speaker) and
switching the video on all of the video conferencing phones in automatic mode to the video from that participant. Initially, when the user joins a
conference with
Automatic Speaker Detection
checkbox enabled, his video phone works in automatic mode. Dialing
or
feature
codes will switch the phone to manual mode, displaying the video of the next or previous participant correspondingly. When the phone is in manual
mode, it will not switch automatically to display the loudest participant, but it will show the video of the same participant until next time when
or
is being pressed. Entering the
feature code will switch the phone back to automatic mode.
For making the video source switching decision in automatic mode, the video conferencing uses the values of the following parameters:
•
Calculate the voice energy for the last [ ] sec.
•
Calculate the voice energy every [ ] sec.
•
Switch to new Video Source if energy difference is more than [ ] dB.
For example, if the values of the parameters are 3, 1 and 6 (default values) correspondingly, the Conference Server will calculate every one second
the average voice energy of each participant during the last three seconds. Then the largest calculated value will be compared to the average voice
energy of the participant providing currently the video for all phones in automatic mode. If the difference between energies is more than 6dB then the
Conference Server will switch the video to a new source having the largest voice energy.
