10 member conference call 1

[windsir4]

Is there a way of having 10 members on a conference call ? I have a Definity G3 Si V9. I seem to be limited to 5 members, also tried to make a bridged extension but again the system only allows 5 persons to be connected at the same time.

The Avaya system will only allow a maximum of 6 members in a conference. To have more than that you would need to purchase the Expanded Meet Me conference server or use an external conference bridge such as Conference Plus.

There is a workaround. You can only have 6 parties on one phone. Just ensure that the last call is to another person in your office who will conference the rest of the people in.

Since my original question I have since discovered that you can join two meet-me conferences for up to an 11-party conference. In order to do this you must have Enhanced Conferencing turned on in Customer Options.

We are CM1.3 with Enhanced Conferencing turned on. I have two different meet-me VDNs. I join conference one along with 5 others then using my conference button I can also join the other meet-me conference (with up to 5 parties already logged in) then press my conference button again and all 11 of us are on.

The information for this was provided by an Avaya business partner.

That was great. It worked for me too! My users are grateful.

Thanks for the great tip!
