Joe Davis has a sales review scheduled with four associates located in different cities. He has reserved Meet-me Conference telephone number 865-253-6090. In switch administration, this number has been assigned to vector 90. See the following screen.

VDN 36090 is administered with an access code of 835944.

When each associate calls the Meet-me Conference telephone number, the following vector processing occurs:

Each caller hears announcement 12340, which says something similar to Welcome to the Meet-me Conferencing service. Enter your conference access code. Each caller enters the access code 835944.

The collect vector step 1 collects the access code digits. If the access code is valid, vector processing continues with vector step 6. If the access code is invalid, vector processing continues with vector step 3, which plays announcement 12341. Announcement 12341 says something similar to This access code is invalid. Please enter the access code again. If the caller enters the wrong access code again, vector processing continues with vector step 5, which plays announcement 12342. Announcement 12342 says something similar to This access code is invalid. Please contact the conference call coordinator to make sure you have the correct conference telephone number and access code. Goodbye.

Vector step 6 is only valid for the first caller into the Meet-me Conference. The meet-me-idle condition routes the first caller to announcement 12344 (vector step 11). The recorded announcement says something similar to, You are the first party to join the call. The caller is then routed to the Meet-me Conference call by vector step 12 and vector processing stops.

Vector step 7 is used when the Meet-me Conference already has the maximum of six parties on the call. The meet-me-full condition disconnects the caller after playing announcement 12345 (vector step 14). The recorded announcement says something similar to, This Meet-me Conference is filled to capacity. Please contact the conference call coordinator for assistance. Goodbye.

If a caller enters the correct access code, is not the first caller, and the conference call is not full, vector processing continues with vector step 8, which plays announcement 12343. The announcement says something similar to Your conference call is already in progress. The caller is then routed to the Meet-me Conference call by vector step 9 and vector processing stops. As each caller enters the conference call, all parties on the call hear an entry tone.

When the conference call is over and callers drop out of the conference call, any remaining parties on the call hear an exit tone.
