Conference Cant get Any Easier  ;D

I already explain in earlier blog the other Conference Feature Meet-me and in my Believe Ad-Hoc is the Advanced feature of Conferencing

in Ad-Hoc the Initiator of the Conference which is the Controller would have the  ability to view the List of the Other Parties, to Remove Some of the Parties. Also you can provide this  Feature to the other parties to have same capabilities of the controller

First just like Meet-Me you need to have conference resources available on you router before you can use any conference features i already explain how to configure a Conference Bridge in earlier Blog Media Resource Group

no other configuration needed

so to start conference first i will go to My Cisco 8941 phone and Make call for the First Parties which in my example is extension 7188

After the first parties answer then I Press the Conference Button



on the 8941 and Call Second Parties extension number 9059

After 9059 answer then press Conference Softkeys to Add him to  the Conference

And it’s now everyone join the  Conference and you can add as many user that your Conference Resource can support

You can view the List of Parties by press View Detail Softkey

Also you can select a user and remove him from the Conference

its a really great feature and user will not have to go through System Administrator to ask for a Number to call like Meet-me Conference were you need it

to adjust your conference to protect your self from toll fraud you can configure the call to be terminated once the controller drop the call

Go to System – Service Parameter – Select the Server and Choose the service (Cisco CallManager ) then go to Clusterwide Parameters (Feature – Conference)

Drop Ad Hoc Conference : When Conference Controller Leaves

Also if i want to other Parties non-Controller to View List of Conference parties and Remove other Parties i will go to System – Service Parameter – Select the Server and Choose the service (Cisco CallManager ) then go to Clusterwide Parameters (Feature – Conference)

Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled : True

Also you can increase number of Parties to join conference, the default value for this Clusterwide Service Parameter is 4.
