Other Options
-
Director
The director option is a desk-top control console. It gives the Conference Attendant/Moderator several convenient features to control a conference call with simple push buttons and LEDs. It attaches to the CONFER II through a communication cable. It is available in 6 or 12 port configurations.
-
Autocall
-
With Autocall, you can use any PC to initiate a conference call from a pre-defined list, either instantly or at a scheduled time. Or you can use it to call and notify people of a future scheduled meet-me conference or to leave any other recorded message, such as emergency or jury duty announcements.
-
Autocall also allows you to set up telephone books, define calling groups, and set up schedules for conference calls. People can be listed in multiple calling groups. At the scheduled time, Autocall will call each party, verify that the call is answered, make an announcement, and transfer the call to the conference bridge. Any conference bridge. If Autocall encounters a busy signal or "no answer," it will retry the call later. If it reaches an answering machine or voice mail system, it will leave a message.
Autocall’s scheduler lets you review the groups already on the schedule so you can find open times. Or, if you try to schedule over an existing schedule, it will warn you of a conflict.
-
With Autocall -Windows 95/98, you can set up your conferences and move on. The PC will watch the clock and, at the scheduled time, initiate the calls without disrupting your work.
-
And best of all, Autocall is cost-effective. You don’t need to replace anything. Autocall will work with installed Confer II bridges or most dial-accessible conference bridges. Just select the PC, install the card, load the software, and plug in the phone line.
Coupler
-
The Confer Coupler Unit is a self-contained, desktop coupler for connecting up to 4 bridges. The Coupler may be used in pairs for up to 6 bridges (36 ports.) The Coupler makes possible 6, 12 or 18 port conferencing with easy push-button control. Switches for coupling and monitoring of bridges are located on the front panel of the Coupler. The Coupler will work with the Confer II or the previous model, the Confer M. An AC plug-in power pack is included. The Coupler Unit may be located remotely from the bridges.
The Confer Coupler Board plugs into the card cage and will couple up to 8 cards. It may also be used to couple two sets of 4 bridges in separate use. Power is provided by the card cage power supply.
-
Other Options
-
Option A, Lockout
-
The Lockout option is a standard feature unless it is disabled with an option switch. It allows users to lock the bridge from intrusion during a conference. It is activated by any conferee depressing the "L" (5) digit after all desired parties are in the conference, thus preventing outsiders from accessing unused ports. Depressing the "U" (8) digit unlocks the bridge.
Option B, Authorization Code
-
The authorization code provides security to access the bridge. When a person calls into the bridge, he/she must enter the correct 4-digit code assigned for the conference to be allowed into the conference. A wrong code will disconnect the caller.
-
Option D, Dial Out
-
Allows a person, calling into port six, to access available lines (5 through 1) to place a call OUT of the bridge for purposes of adding a party to a conference in progress. Available only in 6-port configurations, standard. Other configurations must be reviewed.
-
4-Wire Port Options
-
Ports may be optioned for 4-wire Audio (always in the conference, no supervision) or 4-wire E&M.(similar to Type 5). Contact Forum for details on these options.

-
The Confer II conference bridge easily connects to 2-wire, loop-start central office (CO) lines, Centrex lines or analog station lines of a PBX or key system, via standard RJ11 modular connectors. The lines are usually programmed into a rotary hunt group in the PBX or CO so that only the lead number needs to be used.
-
The Confer II detects ringing signals on a line and answers that line. To release a line when a party hangs up, the Confer II requires disconnect from the line (the PBX or CO.) The preferred method is to see loop current interrupt on the line when the calling part hangs up, much like many voice-mail systems require. This is provided by virtually all COs and by most PBXs (except Northern Telecom). It may require a "voice mail" card or an OPX card in the PBX.
-
If a loop-current-interrupt is not provided, the Confer II can be set (by switch selection) to disconnect when North American is present on the line. This is the method used on any Northern Telecom PBX, plus others, and the PBX typically must be programmed to provide dial tone to the Confer II when the caller hangs up. There is a minor hazard in using dial-tone detection in the occasionally a participant's voice may sound like dial tone and the participant may be disconnected while talking. While the bridge has been designed to minimize this hazard, there remains about one percent chance that it will occur.
A third, default, disconnect is available (switch selectable) if no disconnect supervision is provided. It requires that a line remain silent after the caller hangs up. The bridge will release all lines after two minutes of silence is determined in the conference. There may be a problem in depending on this method if "coffee breaks" are taken during a long conference call. Steps must be taken to assure that some sound is "heard" by the bridge during the break, to avoid releasing all the lines. As stated, this is a last-resort to releasing lines at the end of a conference.
