Example of how the Meet-me vector processes a call

Prolog information
This section describes what occurs when a caller dials the Meet-me Conference telephone number that is managed by the vector in Call Vector screen Page 1 and Call Vector screen Page 2.
The caller hears announcement 12340. Announcement 12340 says, Welcome to the Meet-me Conferencing service. Enter your conference access code. The caller dials the access code 937821. The collect vector step 1 collects the access code digits. If the access code is valid, the vector processing continues with vector step 6.
If the access code is invalid, vector step 3 plays announcement 12341. Announcement 12341 says, The access code you entered is invalid. Please enter the access code again.
If the caller dials the wrong access code again, vector step 5 plays announcement 12342. Announcement 12342 says, 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. The caller is disconnected.
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, according to vector step 11. The announcement says, You are the first party to join the call. The system then routes the caller to the Meet-me Conference call by vector step 12, and vector processing stops.
Vector step 7 is used when the Meet-me Conference maximum of six parties are already on the call. The meet-me-full condition disconnects the caller after announcement 12345 plays, according to vector step 14. Announcement 12345 says, This Meet-me Conference is filled to capacity. Please contact the conference call coordinator for assistance. Goodbye. If the 12–party Conferences field is enabled in the Feature-Related System Parameters screen, the meet-me-full condition is used when the Meet-me Conference already has the maximum of twelve parties on the call.
If a caller dials the correct access code, is not the first caller, and the conference is not full, processing continues with vector step 8. Announcement 12343 plays. The announcement says, Your conference call is already in progress. The system then routes the caller to the Meet-me Conference call by vector step 9, and vector processing stops.
When a caller enters the conference, all parties on the call hear an entry tone. When a party drops out of the conference, the remaining parties hear an exit tone.
