Note that if the VDN extension is one of your Direct Inward Dialing (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.

Or, if you typed the extension in Step 1 as part of the add vdn command, the system automatically displays the extension in the Extension field.

Or, if you typed add vdn next in Step 1, the system automatically displays the next available vector number in the Vector Number field.

Avaya recommends that you always assign an access code for a Meet-me Conference. However, if you do not want to assign an access code, leave the Conference Access Code field blank. Once you assign an access code, the system displays an asterisk (*) in this field for subsequent change, display, or remove operations by all users except the init superuser login. An administrator who uses the init login sees the actual access code instead of an asterisk.

If you type an extension, a user at that extension can use a Feature Access Code (FAC) to change the access code. If you leave the Conference Controller field blank, any station user to whom console permissions are assigned can change the access code. Remote access users can also use a FAC to change a Meet-me Conference access code.
