Chairperson participants use the Numeric ID and optionally, the PIN; guest participants use the Guest numeric ID and optionally, the Guest PIN. For more information, refer to the online help. 4 If you are using a gatekeeper, select H.323 gatekeeper; if you are using a SIP registrar, select SIP registrar. 5 Ensure the Maximum duration of the conference is sufficient (the default is one hour). 6 All other values can be left at their default settings. Refer to the online help for further information about the available settings. Note that if you do not configure the conference to start immediately, it i will become a scheduled conference and will be inactive until its start time. 7 Scroll down and click Add conference. The conference you have created is now active (if you used the default immediate start time) and participants can join in one of two ways: either the MCU MSE 8510 can call out to specified endpoints or endpoints can dial in. Any endpoints that have been added to a conference, as pre-configured participants, will be called in to the conference by the MCU MSE 8510 . 11
