Forcing Authentication with the Star (*) Key
The conference controller can set the conference so that each conference
participant is forced to provide authentication by at least by pressing the * key.
This ensures that only the participants who are actually present are connected to
the conference, as opposed to a voicemail box, for example.
Extending the Conference
Ten minutes before the scheduled end of the conference, the participants hear an
announcement indicating that the conference is about to end and are offered the
option of extending the conference by dialing a specific digit. Any conference
participant can extend the conference by dialing that specific digit. The
conference controller can extend the conference in myAttendant at any time.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference automatically or manually for
themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live
recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the
own node receive the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes,
via e-mail. The duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage
capacity of the system.
Ending the Conference
The conference ends at the time scheduled for the end of the conference or if the
conference controller terminates the conference.
