IP Office Conferencing

The Avaya IP Office conferencing solution enables multiple locations to participate in an audio conference. This allows on-site personnel as well as external parties (whether field-based  engineers, sales staff on the road, customers or suppliers) to plan conference calls in advance or establish ad-hoc conference calls as and when required.

IP Office VoiceMail Pro complements the built-in meet-me conference bridge facility on IP Office by adding guidance prompts as well as requesting PIN codes for security. For example, if conference calls are regularly scheduled, VoiceMail Pro can be pre-programmed for weekly conference calls e.g.: every Tuesday between 2pm and 5pm using PIN code 1234 is the weekly sales call, etc. Furthermore if multiple conference calls are scheduled, users can alternatively select which one they need to attend via a simple menu. Should users encounter any issues calls can be automatically routed to the operator for assistance.

In addition (if Caller ID/Automatic Number Identification (CLI/ANI) information is provided by the network), VoiceMail Pro allows CLI/ANI checks to be performed for further security.

Avaya Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing

There always seems to be a need for day-to-day, impromptu reservation-less conferencing needs. With the high cost of travel and time to disseminate information, the cost-effective need to have larger numbers of people on an on-demand audio conference call became evident. To meet those needs, Avaya created Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing as an extension of the current Avaya Communication Manager 6-party Meet-Me Conferencing capability.

A single Expanded Meet-Me conference call can hold up to 300 people, or the 300 licenses can be divided among many simultaneous conferences on the system. As there are no recurring or per-use fees to pay, an ROI in 4-6 months is attainable, with thousands of dollars of monthly costs saved compared to outsourcing these services. As needs grow, this solution can be part of a migration path to full-featured Avaya Meeting Exchange - Enterprise Edition conferencing solutions.

Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing leverages the same features, administrator, and user experience as found in the 6-party version. This includes entry and exit tones, as well as a passcode for entry (participant and moderator). Additionally, Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing also provides the following capabilities:

 

1. A realtime phone display of the conference size

2. Dynamic scrolling through the list of participants

3. A view of which participants are joining and dropping

4. Ability to disconnect selected participants

5. Full mute control, including muting all participants, or selected participants

 

This software-based solution runs on an Avaya S8500C server and connects with Communication Manager Linux-based servers via encrypted signaling links (TLS - SIP standard). It uses the same operating system as Communication Manager (RedHat Linux 8.0), and supports a wide range of endpoints including analog, DCP, BRI, H.323, and SIP. This makes it simple to install and maintain, while leveraging an existing investment in Avaya Communication Manager.

The capacity of the conferencing solution is determined by the number of licenses, which are available in bundles of 50, up to a maximum of 300 per Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing server.
