Interactions for Meet-me Conference

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

This section provides information about how the Meet-me Conference feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits of the Meet-me Conference feature in any feature configuration.

Call Detail Recording (CDR)

As parties join a Meet-me Conference, a call record is created, if a record is required by system administration. If a record is required, the called party is the Meet-me Conference VDN number. The duration is the length of time that the party is included in the call. An individual record for each party is generated when the party drops from the call.

One option for recording all calls to Meet-me Conference VDNs is to activate the Intraswitch CDR feature, and populate all system Meet-me Conference VDN numbers. If you use the Intraswitch CDR feature with the Meet-me Conference VDNs, set the condition code to C for all call records. If the Intraswitch CDR feature is inactive for Meet-me Conference VDNs, the creation and the content of call records depends on the trunk group translations for external callers to the Meet-me Conference. Internal callers to the Meet-me Conference do not generate any records if the Intraswitch CDR feature is inactive for either the Meet-me Conference VDN or the calling extension.

Direct Inward Dialing (DID)

If a Meet-me Conference VDN is one of your block of DID numbers, external users can access the conference VDN. If the VDN extension is not part of the DID block, only internal callers on the network or remote access callers can access the conference VDN.
