Conference Room

Adding a conference room

In this example, we’ll add a conference room with number 4010.

First, you need to define a conference room number range for the ‘’default’’ context via the Services ‣ IPBX ‣ IPBX Configuration ‣ Contexts page.

Creating conference room 4010

In this example, we have only filled the ‘’Name’’ and ‘’Number’’ fields, the others have been left to their default value.

As you can see, there’s quite a few options when adding / editing a conference room. Here’s a description of the most common one:

General Tab

  • Pin code: Protects your conference room with a PIN number. People trying to join the room will be asked for the PIN code.

  • Organizer Pin Code: This pin code is used to define an organizer for the conference, organizer will have the right to mute or kick participants with the Conferences monitoring in uc assistant application.

  • Waiting room: Once this option is checked the users are not able to speak in the room and have to wait the organizer to join the conference.

Note

You must define a general pin code if you want to be able to organize conferences and use the organizers features.
