Extending a Conference

The End of Conference Prompting (EOCP) feature is enabled by the administrator for all

conference types. When this feature is enabled, it triggers a series of prompts at either 5 or

10 minutes (depending on the system settings) before the scheduled conference end time.

When prompted, the conference leader/host is given the option of extending the

conference. If the leader/host does not extend the conference, it will end at the scheduled

time. If EOCP is not enabled on your system, refer to “Modifying a Conference” on page 17

for details about extending a conference.

Consider the following items about End of Conference Prompting:

• When EOCP is enabled for your system, you cannot disable the feature for the

conference.

• If the conference cannot be extended for the requested extension period because the

system does not have ports available (Port Reservation feature is enabled), the

leader/host is prompted to try a shorter extension time.

• If the leader/host is unavailable or has dropped out of the conference early, the

conference will end at the originally scheduled time.

• If there is no leader/host in the conference, or if the system does not have enough

available ports to extend the conference for at least 15 minutes, the prompt to extend

the conference is not played.

• For conferences with audio, only a conference leader can extend the conference time.

If the conference has multiple leaders, only the leader who has been on the

conference call the longest will be prompted (and have the ability) to extend the

conference.

• The leader is momentarily disconnected from the conference when the EOCP options

are played. The participants who dialed in from other phones will still be connected to

the conference during this time.

• If host control is transferred to another participant in a Web conference, that

participant will not be prompted to extend the conference. Only the conference host

(or delegate) will be prompted (and has the ability) to extend the conference.

• A conference to be extended more than once by a leader/host, provided the system

has ports available.

NOTE

For Internet Explorer

6 only. To ensure that conferences can be

extended using the Web interface, it may be necessary to change the

default setting in your Web browser. To change the setting, open a Web

browser window, and then go to Tools – Internet Options – Advanced.

Clear the check box for the option Reuse windows for launching

shortcuts. Click OK to apply the change.
