Start / Join Conference Room

Feature Description
This option lets you do a variety of thing related to your PBX's conferencing functionality. A
conference room allows you to speak to a group of participants at the same time. Conference
members can be external or internal to the company PBX. Each PBX comes with a predefined
number of conference rooms, the default is 5 conference rooms per PBX. More rooms can be
purchased if needed. Each room is protected by a PIN which can be set and changed on the fly by the
company owner / manager. Conference rooms are numbered from 1 thru 5, and have a limit of how
many members can be a part of the conference at any given time. The default number of members per
conference room is 10, however more capacity can be added if necessary. A conference room has two
types of PIN Codes. An Administrator PIN, and a User PIN. The Administrator PIN is used to start
a conference while a User PIN is used to Join a conference. During the conference all members will
be muted while the speaker is talking, however it is possible to un-mute a participant so they can
speak as well. Please refer to the Conferencing Documentation for more details.

Special Note: We recommend that the conference administrator change the conference PIN prior to
the start of any conference. This ensures that guests from previous conferences can not join this
conference unless they have been supplied with the current conference PIN. You should NEVER give
out the Administrator PIN to a conference room. The only PIN you should ever supply people is the
USER Pin which allows them to join a conference room but not start one.
