IP Office Conferencing Capacity
IP Office provides a flexible conferencing solution with 128 conferencing channels on the IP500 and IP500 V2,
allowing multiple conferences of any size from 3 to 64 parties.. This means that several conferences of different
sizes can all run at the same time if the total calls do not exceed the systems conference resources. So the
system will support 42 x 3-party conferences, 2 x 64-party conferences or any combination in between. IP
Office does not impose limits on the mix of internal and external calls in conference, but if all internal
participants disconnect from the conference bridge, the external participants can be disconnected automatically
by the system for added security (configurable system setting).
Notes:
1.
Analog Trunk Restriction
In conferences that include external analog line calls, a maximum of two analog line calls are allowed per
conference.
2.
External Participants
Each external caller requires a digital trunk/VoIP channel (for example 1 T1 allows 23/24 external
parties, 1 E1 allows 30 parties and a fully licensed VCM-64 allows 64 parties).
3.
Use of Conference Resources by Other Features
System features such as call intrusion, call recording and silent monitoring all use conference resources,
as does automatic recording if enabled. When any of these features are active the number of slots
available for conference parties is reduced. For example, a conference call between 3 parties and being
recorded will use 4 conference slots.
4.
The IP500 Supports 128 Conference Members
The total capacity of the IP500 V2 is 128 party conference resources. However the restriction of a
maximum of 64 parties in any individual conference still applies.
5.
Meet-Me Conferencing on IP500 requires Preferred Edition
IP Office IP500 V2 supports basic or ad-hoc conferencing, but if Meet-Me capabilities are required the
Upgrade License to IP Office Preferred Edition should be purchased for direct dial into a conference
bridge with PIN code security.
Each IP Office unit which should host Meet-Me capabilities need their own Preferred Edition.
IP Office Standard Conferencing Features
The IP Office provides the following features and benefits relating to conferencing:
· No special conferencing equipment required
You only need an IP Office system unit with as many digital trunks/VoIP channels as external participants
(as well as Preferred Edition for Meet-Me conferences).
· Ease of use
Simply dial the direct number allocated to the conference bridge, type in the PIN if required and you have
joined the conference (PIN codes require Preferred Edition/VoiceMail Pro).
· Conference control from Avaya Display telephones*, IP Office Phone Manager and Avaya one-
X™ Portal for IP Office
For ad-hoc conferences with a few participants, users can easily set up immediate conferences by calling
all parties and bringing them to the conference bridge. With Avaya one-X™ Portal for IP Office , the
originator of the conference can keep control: the Caller ID number (and the associated name if
recognized) of each participant is displayed. If required, they can selectively hang-up a specific
participant.
· Customized greeting
Record a personalized greeting per conference (requires Preferred Edition/VoiceMail Pro).
· Conference entry/exit tones
Single beep on entry/double beep on exit
· Conference call recording
Manual recording initiated by user on IP Office via Avaya one-X™ Portal for IP Office , Phone
Manager, digital/IP display phone or a short code (requires Preferred Edition/VoiceMail Pro)
· Security
To prevent unauthorized access to the conference bridge, PIN codes, Caller ID number screening as well
as time and date profiles can be set-up using IP Office VoiceMail Pro.
· Privacy
In cases where the security of calls is critical, in-house conferencing is the only way to ensure privacy.
· Remote Management
Allows a single person to manage the conferencing bridge facility from any location. Furthermore, the full
IP Office solution - phone system, voicemail, CTI server, router, firewall and DHCP server- can all be
managed from a single management interface called IP Office Manager.
