Meet Me Conference Not Working1

[quazimotto]

Greetings Guys,

I have an IPO v2 8.1 with essential license. I programmed a short code for Meet me Conference and when I dial it I get a busy signal.
Shortcode:565X
Feature:Meet Me Conference
line:0

Quality Conferencing is checked under system-telephony. This works on other IPOs. What do you think? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I thought you had to have preferred edition licence for that to work.

Ad hoc conference works on essential licence.

I also think if you had preferred licence using essential facilities it would work.

Thanks, Snowman.

I never seen in documentation that for Meet me conference you need Preferred. By the way, can you say where is my conference icon? As you can see here - there is no conference icon, no way to add a conference

Users can place calls on hold and a create a conference using either the telephone or desktop applications. Additional conference members may be added, however a single conference may not have more than 64 members (with IP500 V2 only and more on Server Edition).

For ad-hoc conferencing, the system requires as many digital trunks/VoIP channels as external participants (as well as Preferred Edition for Meet-Me conferences). The system supports 128 conferencing channels on the IP500 V2, allowing multiple conferences of any size from 3 to 64 parties. The system support 42 3-party conferences, 2 64-party conferences or any combination in between. Meet-Me capabilities require Preferred Edition for direct dial into a conference bridge with PIN code security. In an SCN network, only one centralized Preferred Edition license is required to host Meet-Me conferences at any of the sites. Conference IDs are also shared across the SCN sites.

You must create your own short code for Meet Me Conferencing, such as 555N; / Conference Meet Me / N / 0
