If this Conference ID is not registered in the database, the conference
cannot be started and this participant is disconnected from the Entry
Queue.
5 The external database contains a list of participants (users), with their
assigned parameters. Once a participant is identified in the database
(according to the conference ID), his/her parameters (as defined in
the database) can be sent to the MCU in the same response granting
the participant the right to start a new ongoing conference. These
parameters are:
— Conference Name
— Conference Billing code
— Conference Password
— Chairperson Password
— Conference Information, such as the contact person name. These
fields correspond to Info 1, 2 and 3 fields in the Conference
Properties - Information dialog box.
— Maximum number of participants allowed for the conference
— Conference Owner
These parameters can also be defined in the conference Profile. In
such a case, parameters sent from the database overwrite the
parameters defined in the Profile. If these parameters are not sent
from the external database to the MCU, they will be taken from the
Profile.
6 A new conference is started based on the Profile assigned to the Entry
Queue.
7 The participant is moved to the conference.
If no password request is configured in the Conference IVR Service
assigned to the conference, the participant that initiated the
conference is directly connected to the conference, as its chairperson.
If the Conference IVR Service assigned to the conference is
configured to prompt for the conference password and chairperson
password, without external database authentication, the participant
has to enter these passwords in order to join the conference.
To enable this workflow, the following components must be defined in
the system:
• A Conference IVR Service with the appropriate prompts. If
conference access is also validated with the external database
