The Conference Progress page displays information about the
conference, including the list of participants, and allows moderator to
manage the conference.
The following read-only data is displayed on this page:
Conference ID - the unique ID of the conference.
Info Text - displays the text uploaded in the Info File from Customization page.
Subject - an optional subject of the conference.
Description -any descriptive information about the conference (optional).
SIP Address - the SIP address of the conference.
Duration - the time the current conference is active.
Reservation Status - information whether this conference is a reserved one or not, also a count about maximum number of participants and an expiration time until the conference will be active.
Conference Status - the conference status (active, not active or waiting). If the conference is active, the information whether the conference is locked or not, and the recording status (started, paused, or stopped) is also displayed herein.
The following buttons are available on this page to manage the active conference:
Activate - available for an inactive conference only and used to activate the conference.
Terminate - available for an active conference only and used to terminate the active conference
Lock - available for an active conference only and used to lock the conference. When conference is locked, no users can connect to
it.
Unlock - available for an active conference only and used to unlock the conference.
Start/Resume - available for an active conference only and used to start the recording of the conference or resume the recording
if it was paused.
Pause - available for an active conference only and used to pause the recording of the conference.
Stop - available for an active conference only and used to stop the recording of the conference.
Note: Pausing and Resuming the conference recording will skip the appropriate part from the recorded conference audio file. When pause/resume operations are used, conference is recorded in a single file, leaving out the conversation during which conference recording was paused. When using stop/start operations, new files are created each time conference recording is started. All recorded conferences are listed in the Recorded Conferences page only after conference recording termination. In case of pause/resume, the recorded file is not terminated. In case of stop/start recording starts in new file.
The table of participants on this page lists all preconfigured participants (independent of the conference status), as well as new participants joined the conference (if still connected to the conference) and those participants added from the handset or GUI (unless the conference is terminated).
For the active conference, the table also displays participants added manually from GUI or from the handset and those participants that
called in to the conference.
