This page is used to define Participant specific settings and consists of the following components:
Participant Name text field requires optional information (firstname, lastname, nickname, etc.) about the participant.
SIP Address / Tel. Number text field requires contact phone number (SIP address or Routing Number) of the participant. This number will be automatically dialed by the system when participant is configured to be a Dial Out (see below) or when corresponding Feature Code is used.
The participant's SIP address can be a combination of username@hostaddress:port (where hostaddress can be an IP address, for example, 192.168.90.10, or a host name, e.g., sip.epygi.com) or simply a username. The port number is optional for the SIP address. If no port is specified, 5060 will be used. The range of valid ports is between 1024 and 65536. When the SIP address contains username only, the participant with the defined username from any SIP server will be able to join the conference as a registered participant.
Attention: When SIP address contains only username, it should contain exclusively digit symbols. To dial out participants with the username only specified, the routing rules should be properly configured in the Call Routing Table since the SIP server is unknown.
Note: A direct call will be placed toward a participant's SIP address if the corresponding conference is registered on a different SIP server than the participant is registered on, or if the participant is not registered on any SIP server.
The value will be implied as a Routing Number and will be parsed through the Call Routing Table table if it does not match the SIP URI syntax.
Email Address requires the email address of the participant. Conference related notifications (configured from the Schedule page using the Send Notification Mail option) will be automatically sent to this address. This field is not available on this page when it is reached from the Conference Progress page.
Participant Type list is used to select the type (speaker or listener) of the participant in the conference.
Confirmation Type list is used to set the password protection for the participant joining the active conference. Star (*) selection allows the participant to accept the conference invitation by pressing the * button. Only participants connected to the conference with the moderator password will be provided with the permissions to manipulate the conference.
Note: Confirmation Type should be selected to "none" when the Participant Type is listener.
A group of checkboxes on this page allow configuration of participant specific settings:
Allow Video allows participant to join the video conference.
When the Dial Out checkbox is enabled the participant will be automatically dialed out when the conference is activated.
Activate On Dial In checkbox automatically activates the corresponding conference when this participant joins the conference call. This checkbox is not available on this page when it is reached from the Conference Progress.
Participant Indication enables the beep indication during the conference when this participant joins or leaves the conference.
Nested Conference should be selected if the participant is a Conference itself and enables the correct behavior of conference termination.
Allow Duplicated Participation checkbox allows multiple participants with the selected Caller ID (calling address) to join the corresponding conference. This is applicable when different participants are using the same shared number to place a call.
