Maintenance Manual

■ All IDs and PINs are blank

■ Different chairperson ID and guest ID (this includes the cases where one is blank and the other is not)

■ The same ID for chairperson and guest with different PINs (one of which may be blank)

Note that participants dragged and dropped into a conference on the web interface will be chairperson participants.

Where no IDs or PINs are configured for a conference, all participants will be chairpersons regardless of how they

join.

H.323 and SIP Registration

Both Numeric ID and Guest numeric ID can be registered with an H.323 gatekeeper and/or SIP registrar to enable

participants to dial in to conferences directly and as the correct participant type. The Numeric ID registration setting

applies to both IDs.

Audio-Only Participants

Audio-only participants can be guest or chairperson participants by connecting to a conference using either a Guest

or Chairperson ID. In the case of an audio-only guest, if no chairperson has yet joined the conference, they will hear

an audio prompt informing them of that. The conference will start when the first chairperson joins.

Using Conference Templates

Templates control the default settings for conferences. The MCU is shipped with the following default templates:

■ The top level template

■ The ad hoc conferences template

You can add additional templates below the top level template in a tree hierarchy. A newly created template will

initially inherit the settings of the template selected as the parent template, but you can then tailor the settings of

each template to the requirements of a particular conference. A template can be moved by selecting a new parent

template in the Template configuration page.

Templates can also be deleted. The parent of a deleted template becomes the parent of any child template below the

deleted template.

The MCU supports up to 100 templates in total.

When you add a new scheduled conference from the Conference list page, you select the template that you want

the conference to use from a drop down list. The selected template provides the settings that appear on the Add

conference page which you can then change if required.

The ad hoc conference template provides the configuration for all ad hoc conferences. You can alter any of the

conference settings during the conference.

For information about the conference configuration settings, refer to Adding and updating conferences which lists all

conference configuration settings.
