Conference-Multiparty
What’s this?
Like the Dial-In Conference, a Multi-party conference allows speech between more than three participants.
The key difference between Dial-In and Multi-party conference is that in a Dial-In conference participants can
include themselves in the conference by dialing into it without assistance, whereas in a Multi-party Conference the
party initiating the conference must include the participants by dialing their numbers.
In a 3-party Conference, when you add the fourth participant, a Multiparty Conference is initiated.
A Multiparty conference may be
• between extensions
• between extensions and trunks, that is, external numbers.
Any participant in a Multiparty Conference can Include a party, Remove a party, Leave a conference temporarily or
can Cancel a conference. When any participant is included in the conference, the system plays a beep to indicate
the inclusion.
External callers can initiate multiparty conference using “Direct Inward System Access (DISA)”.
Refer the table below for details regarding the multiparty conferences supported by the system.
PRASAR UCS supports a maximum of 8 participants in a single or multiple conference. To increase the
number of participants in the conference, you must purchase the Conference Participant License. To
know more, refer “License Management”.
How it works
A, B, C, and D are extension users.
E and F are external numbers.
A decides to hold a teleconference with B, C, D, E and F.
Initiating a Multiparty Conference
• A has initiated a 3-party conference with B and C.
• If A dials the D’s number followed by the 3-party conference code. D is included in the conference.
Now, the 3-party Conference is converted into a Multiparty Conference.
