The conference engine checks the scheduled conference date and time and
validates against the system date and time.

If the participant has called within the scheduled date and time, the conference
engine allows the participant into the conference, based on certain conference
parameters.
✎
If the conference is based on a common conference password or if it is a preset
conference, the participant is allowed into the conference provided conference ports
are free.
✎
If the conference is based on the unique passwords, certain conditions are checked
before allowing the party into the conference.
❑
If the conference is created with the ‘Host required’ option, the party dialing into the
conference should be an organizer; otherwise they are not allowed into the
conference unless the organizer is already part of the conference.
❑
If the conference is created with ‘Admission Control’ option, the organizer is notified
before adding/allowing participants into the conference and the organizer is expected
to confirm admission of the participants joining the conference.
