Meeting Rooms List
A Meeting Room is a reservation set to Meet Me Per Conference, without
resource allocation. The reservation is saved in the MCU memory and is
inactive and remains inactive for an unlimited time, until the first participant
connects to it. Other participants may join the conference by dialing in.
Meeting Rooms may be defined in the MGC Manager application and the
MGC WebCommander application.
The Meeting Room is set (by default) to Allow Undefined Parties with a
default duration of 2 hours, generally intended as a dial-in conference and
can have any of the available conference attributes. It is recommended to
define it also as an Auto Terminate conference. You can select the number of
times the Meeting Room may be activated. The Meeting Room remains in
sleep mode (passive) in between activations.
The dial-in numbers allocated to the Meeting Room can be automatically
allocated by the MCU (based on the dial-in numbers allocated to the MCU
by the carrier and defined in the ISDN Network Services) or manually in the
Meet Me Service section, as described for the Meet Me Per Conference
mode. In the same way, the H.323 Network Service prefix may be
automatically or manually assigned to the Meeting Room. For details see
Chapter 7, “Conference Types” on page 7-5.
If dial-out participants are also defined for the conference, the system
automatically dials out to these participants the moment the conference is
activated. The operator or conference initiator may lock the conference to
additional dial-in participants at any time.
A Meeting room can also be defined with Entry Queue Access, (with or
without IVR service). In such a case no dial-in numbers are allocated to the
Meeting Room.
