Need help creating a simple "meet-me conference"

[SIKV35]

I'm trying to create "meet-me conference" with an access code. I created the "meet-me", but I can't get the access code to work correctly. Here's what I have for the "meet-me" vector (keep in mind I don't have an announcement card) so it's very straight forward:

1 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
2 route-to meet-me
3 stop

I've tried:

01 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
02 collect 6 digits after announcement none
03 go-to step 4 if digits = 123456
04 route-to meet-me
05 stop

I have a feeling it's something really easy, but I just can't get it. I was hoping to set it up like this:

user dials meet-me ext, hears ringback, establishes conference with access code 123456, unless he enters wrong access code, user gets busy signal. Any additional parties have to enter access code, but if it's entered wrong, they get busy signal.

I hope that made sense?

Thanks for the help.

Here is how we do it. Create a vector with the following steps. This way you create a vdn pointed at the vector.You set the passcode in the vdn. You can skip the announcement steps.

01 collect 6 digits after announcement 3140
02 goto step 6 if digits = meet-me-access
03 collect 6 digits after announcement 3141
04 goto step 6 if digits = meet-me-access
05 disconnect after announcement 3142
06 goto step 11 if meet-me-idle
07 goto step 14 if meet-me-full
08 announcement 3143
09 route-to meetme
10 stop
11 announcement 3144
12 route-to meetme
13 stop
14 disconnect after announcement 3145
15 stop

I changed vector 90 to look like this:

01 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
02 collect 6 digits after announcement none
03 goto step 4 if digits = meet-me-access
04 route-to meetme
05 stop

With this configuration I call the vdn x1680, I hear ringback. I have another user call vdn x1680 and dial access number 123456 and it works. However it also allows a caller in by dialing ANY 6 digits or # after the vdn.

between step 3 and 4 you need a busy step. right now if the 4 digits entered equal the meet-me-access code then you would goto step 4. If it does not match then it fails and goes to the next step, being 4.


01 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
02 collect 6 digits after announcement none
03 goto step 6 if digits = meet-me-access
04 busy
05 stop
06 route-to meetme
07 stop

have you entered the access code on page 2 of the VDN number ?

 

[1SIKV35]

Yup. Conference Access Code: 123456

It finally works!

Thanks guys...I LOVE THIS FORUM!

Now I'm trying to set it up so the controller is able to change the access code. I've changed the feature parameters to enable meet-me access code change: #7 and I've assigned a controller station.

So when I call meet-me vdn from the controller station, and dial #7 and enter new access code, it doesn't work.

Do I need to change something in my vector?

01 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
02 collect 6 digits after announcement none
03 goto step 6 if digits = meet-me-access
04 busy
05 stop
06 route-to meetme
07 stop

Thanks.

Dial #7
Dial the VDN # and press #
Dial the password to the VDN and press #
Dial the new password and press #
Dial the new password again and press #

You should hear 3 confirmation tones after the last step.

Thanks,

Okay, one more thing with this...how do I increase the 6 party maximum?

I guess by default this meet-me conference can support 6 callers, but what do I need to support more? Say up to 10.

Thanks.

6 is the limit. I believe you can expand up to 300 with an added cost S8300 dedicated for conferencing.

 

[sjforcum]

Can you use an S8300 as a extended meet me server? I thought it had to be an 8500...

 

[PhoneDataDude]

Oops, your correct, it's an S8500.

You could also setup an IP office with a PRI between the Communications Manager and the IP Office.
