The status of a conference with respect to its
H.323 gatekeeper and/or SIP registration.
Depending on the conference settings, there is a
maximum of four registrations for each
conference: H.323 numeric ID, H.323 guest
numeric ID, SIP numeric ID, and SIP guest
numeric ID. The Registration field will show
failed if any of the registrations has not completed
successfully.
This conference is not configured to be
registered with a gatekeeper or SIP
registrar; because of this, there is no
applicable registration status to show
This conference is in the process of
registering with the gatekeeper or SIP
registrar
At least one of the registrations for this
conference has failed
All IDs associated with this conference
have been registered successfully with
the gatekeeper / SIP registrar
One or more of the IDs associated with
this conference has been configured to
be registered with the gatekeeper or SIP
registrar, but that registration has not
been attempted due to another setting
taking precedence. This might occur if
either of the H.323 gatekeeper usage or ID
registration for scheduled conferences options
on the page is set
to Disabled
Note that when there is a problem with the
registration, the status is a link to the conference's
Statistics page.
If the MCU can connect to an H.323 gatekeeper,
each numeric ID (for both chairperson and guest
privileges) for a conference can be registered with
that gatekeeper as a different directory number.
This allows H.323 users to dial directly into a
particular conference (with the correct privileges)
instead of connecting first to the MCU's auto
attendant and navigating the menu system.
Likewise, if the MCU can connect to a SIP
registrar, each conference can be registered with
that registrar using either (or both) Numeric ID
and Guest ID. This allows SIP users to dial
directly into a particular conference (with the
correct privileges) instead of connecting first to
the MCU's auto attendant and navigating the
menu system. Note that for SIP, unlike H.323,
the conferences must be configured on the SIP
registrar before the MCU can register them.
There is a maximum of four registrations for each
conference: H.323 numeric ID, H.323 guest
numeric ID, SIP numeric ID, and SIP guest
numeric ID. To view further details about the
registrations for a conference, click the
conference name and then the Statistics tab to
view the conference's Statistics page.

The number of currently active contributors to
the conference. This value does not include
streaming viewers or any other endpoints that are
viewing only and not contributing any media to
the conference.
If a limit on the number of participants has been
set for the conference, the participants value is
shown as , where is the number of active
participants and is the configured limit. If it has

of participants is hidden until the PIN is entered.
In this case, the Participants value displays as
<PIN required>.
