Extending the Conference Duration
Five minutes prior to the end of the call, the system plays a message to the
moderator that the conference will end in five minutes. Instructions are provided to
the moderator on how to extend the conference call, if desired. The moderator can
extend the conference in increments of 5 minutes at any time during the call by
pressing *6 for as long as needed or until the next scheduled conference call.
Roll Call
During a conference call, the moderator may initiate a roll call of the participants
that have signed in by pressing *2. All conference call participants will hear:
“There are (n) people in the conference. The following people have joined
the conference. (System plays the name of each participant as recorded.)
Roll call complete.”
Adding More Ports to an Active Meet-Me Conference
During an active conference call, the moderator may add more ports if needed. To
add more ports, do the following:
1. Press *3. The moderator will hear:
“Please enter the number of ports you wish to add followed by the # key.”
2. Enter the number of ports to be added, then press the # key. The system will
check the availability of the ports and report results to the moderator. For
example, the moderator wants to add six ports:
• If all six ports are available, the moderator will hear:
“Six additional ports have been reserved for this conference.”
• If only 5 of 6 ports are available, the moderator will hear:
“Five of six additional ports have been reserved for this conference.”
• If no ports are available, the moderator will hear:
“We are sorry, additional ports are not available at this time.”
Dropping a Conference Call
Should it be necessary, a moderator may be drop (end) a conference call while in
progress. Reasons for dropping a conference call may include participants
becoming loud, not allowing others to talk, and lack of courtesy, among others. To
drop a conference call, press *7. All callers will be disconnected from the
conference call and the call terminated.
However, the meet-me conference reservation remains in effect and partitipants
can be invited to re-join the conference by dialing the meet-me conference number
and entering the appropriate guest ID.
