Monitoring an On Going Conference
An On Going conference is a conference that is started immediately or when
the Calender’s scheduled reservation date and time is reached. An On Going
conference can be invoked in one of the following ways:
• Started immediately from New Meeting definition
• Started immediately from the Reservation Templates
• The scheduled starting date and time of a Calender Reservation is set to
the current date and time (for more details, see Chapter 6, “Reservation
Calendar” )
You can monitor conferences and perform various operations while
conferences are running.
Monitoring may be done at the conference level or at the participant level.
Monitoring involves viewing the status of On Going conferences and the
status of their participants. For example, you can terminate a conference
before its scheduled ending or you can extend its duration. Alternatively,
you can disconnect an individual participant while the conference is in
progress, or temporarily mute transmission to and from a site so that the
other participants can hold a private discussion. You can connect dial-out
participants during the conference and add a new participant while the
conference is in session.
Operations may also be performed during the conference. Different
operations may be performed when managing an IVR-enabled conference
(Audio Only and video) or a standard conference. Additional operations are
available for conferences running on Video+ cards.
The Meeting Director module is available only if you have purchased and
installed the MGC WebCommander Professional or MGC WebCommander
Meeting Director software and if you have access rights to Meeting Director
module. The access rights are defined in the MGC Web Server Manager -
Permissions. For more details, see the MGC Web Server Manager User’s
