MCU administration

 Completed conferences: scheduled conferences that have finished and are not scheduled to repeat

See the online help topic “Displaying conference lists”.

Scheduled vs. ad hoc conferences

Scheduled conferences are set up through the web interface and can start at a specified time or immediately.

Ad hoc conferences are set up "on the fly" from the auto attendant, if the Create new conference option

is displayed.Ad hoc conferences always start immediately. See the online help topic “Adding and updating

conferences”.

Scheduled conferences can be set up to dial out to pre-configured endpoints — see “Pre-configuring

endpoints” later in this chapter — (and participants can also dial in). Participants can dial in to ad hoc

conferences and the MCU can dial out while the ad hoc conference is active but you cannot pre-configure

an ad hoc conference to dial out.

Ad hoc conferences are not permitted if port reservation is enabled — see “Port reservation (MCU only)”

on page 27.

Permanent vs. time limited conferences

When you set up a scheduled conference you can select the Permanent check box or set the maximum

duration. See the online help topic “Adding and updating conferences”. Permanent conferences are not

recommended if you are using port reservation (“Port reservation (MCU only)” on page 27) because they

do not release their port allocation even when there are no participants.

Stopping scheduled conferences early

If a conference is scheduled for 2 hours but the participants have finished after an hour, you can stop the

conference in two ways:

 You can disconnect all the participants — see the online help topic “Viewing conference participant

list”. The conference remains an active conference but with no active participants. If you are using port

reservation — see ‚ “Port reservation (MCU only)”— then the ports remain allocated to the

conference until the scheduled end time and are not available for other conferences until that time.

 You can end the conference by clicking End conference in the Conferences pages — see the online help

topic “Viewing conference participant list”. In this case, the conference is no longer active. If it was a

repeating conference, the conference becomes a completed conference and then all future instances

will not happen unless you display the conference properties and reschedule the conference to start at

the next occurrence. The conference duration is also reduced — and you may want to return this to its

previous value if you are rescheduling the conference.

You can reactivate a completed conference by displaying its properties and adding a new start

date/time in the future.
