Entry Queue
Access
Select this check box to force participants to access
the conference via an Entry Queue. When selected,
the participant must dial the Entry Queue dial-in
number and enter the correct conference password
in order to be transferred to this conference.
An Entry Queue is a special routing lobby queue to
which one or more dial-in numbers are assigned.
When callers dial the assigned number, they access
a queue, where, using voice prompts, they are
guided to the appropriate conference. If the
participants fail to connect to the conference, they
may be helped by the operator (if the Operator
Assistance option is enabled for the Entry Queue).
The Entry Queue remains in a passive state when
there are no callers in the queue (in between
connections) and is automatically activated once a
caller dials its dial-in number.
Note: If this conference is also set as Meet Me Per
Conf to which a separate dial-in number is assigned,
the participant can also connect directly to the
conference using this number.
To save the dial-in number, do not select Meet Me
Per Conf.
The Entry Queue is defined in the MGC Manager.
For more information on defining the Entry Queue,
refer to the MGC Manager User's Guide, Volume I,
Chapter 8 Version.
