3.2. Conference service

Definition

You can create a telephone conference with up to 50 participants, they can dial in and communicate with each other. There are different rights for the conference leader and the participants. The conference leader for example can mute all participants.

How do I configure a telephone conference:

Example:

You want to create a conference which is internally available by calling the extension 300.

Instructions:

  • Enter a short name for your conference.
  • In addition please remember the admin and user PIN. These are important to log into a conference.
  • Optionally you can make additional settings, such as the announcement of a new participant in the conference, etc.
  • Now you assign the extension number 300 to your conference, so that it is internally accessible.
  • If you have only one trunk line, then a direct dial is created automatically. If you have multiple trunks, and the conference needs to be accessed externally, please submit the direct dial +49 123 456789-300 via the dialog box „Inbound Numbers“. Now the conference is externally accessible.

Configuration

In the administration portal under "Targets", click on the ADD-button and select a new telephone conference. You can also edit an existing conference by double-click.
