6.8.35 Conference Meet Me
Conference meet-me refers to features that allow a user or caller to join a specific conference by using the conference's
ID number (either pre-set in the control or entered at the time of joining the conference).
· ! Note
Conference Meet Me features can create conferences that include only one or two parties. These are still
conferences that are using resources from the host system's conference capacity.
Conference ID Numbers
By default, ad hoc conferences are assigned numbers starting from 100 for the first conference in progress. Therefore,
for conference Meet Me features specify a number away from this range ensure that the conference joined is not an ad
hoc conference started by other users. For Release 6.2 it is no longer possible to join a conference using conference Meet
Me features when the conference ID is in use by an ad-hoc conference.
· User Personal Conference Number
For Release 6.2+, each user's own extension number is treated as their own personal conference number.
Only that user is able to start a conference using that number as the conference ID. Any one else attempting
to start a conference with that number will find themselves in a conference but on hold until the owner also
joins. Personal conferences are always hosted on the owner's system. Note, when a user calls from their
mobile twinned number, the personal conference feature will only work if they access the conference using an
FNE 18 service.
Other Features
· A currently connected caller can be transferred into the conference by pressing TRANSFER, then the Conference
Meet Me button and TRANSFER again to complete the transfer. This allows the user to place callers into the
conference specified by the button without being part of the conference call themselves. This option is only
support on Avaya phones with a fixed TRANSFER button.
· When the conference is active, any buttons associated with the conference ID indicate the active state.
For further details refer to the Conferencing section.
