The Conference Factory URI provides seamless integration of the conference capabilities supplied by the conference products such as Avaya Multimedia Messaging and SIP endpoints such as an Avaya Desktop Video Device with Session Manager. This feature provides an enhanced experience for conferences participants and richer collaboration when using voice, video, and text conference systems.

A Conference Factory Set is a collection of Conference Factory URI mappings that have a unique URI. The URI is referred as the Conference Factory URI. In a Conference Factory URI mapping, a Conference Factory URI is associated with a respective Entity Name (Conference server name), Audio-Video-Text media attributes, Match Type parameters, and SDP parameters. On the User management page, you can associate a Conference Factory Set with the Session Manager Communication Profile of a user.

Session Manager receives a REQUEST URI in the INVITE and compares the Request URI of the Invite with the provisioned Well Known Conference URI list. Session Manager then selects the Conference Factory Set and routes the call towards the associated Conference Server to create a new ad-hoc conference.
