Bridge Conference - Innovaphone

 What

Bridge conferencing with Innovaphone BX

 Problem

New configuration settings with firmware V9 concerning Bridge Conferencing

 Solution

To setup Brdige conferencing with indialing possibilities we need to create a conference room with a static ID. In version 9 and above, the syntax is different.

First we create a Gateway object in the PBX, this object should have a number! Also don't forget to check the prefix option.

The next step is to configure the room and min. + max. channel reservation. We do this in the Gateway -> Interfaces -> CONF interface.

The code explanation is as follow:

*210: Create a room with static ID: 10
*14: Min. channels: 4
*24: Max. channels: 4
#: End command

When someone dials 900*2 (Conference gateway object No.) The code *2 will be rewritten to our code en a conference room with ID: 10 and 4 channels will be created.

Now, when someone wants to join this conference, they need to dial the conference object no. + room ID. So for our example this will be: 90010

If you want external callers to be joined in the conference bridge, you can setup a route to -> 90010. If the room is not available the next route will be taken.

If you want extra security, you can ask the caller for a PIN code, this can be routed on a waiting queue with DTMF Maps.
