Administering endpoints with automatic conference button locations

Last Updated : Jun 06, 2019 |
Prolog information
Analog stations have a virtual feature button 18 configured in the endpoint template as a conference button. Unless this button is removed in the configuration, it will be the button that is used on Communication Manager, and conferencing users will be allowed. Device Adapter maps between the base operation (hook flash) and the button function.
UNIStim, M3903, M3904, and M3905 stations program the conference button as button 18. However, this is a soft key in the context-sensitive map. It is made available only when a call is active.
  1. Start to administer or create the station.
  2. If not already done, select the correct template and model for the endpoint:
    1. CS1k-IP for UNIStim sets.
    2. CS1k-ana for analog sets.
    3. CS1k-39xx for 3903, 3904, and 3905 sets. The 3901 and 3902 do not fit this model as well, see the next section.
  3. If this station is to support conference, ensure button 18 is assigned as the conference button. Otherwise, remove any feature definition for this button.
