The Meeting Manager application can be utilized by any User in a domain that has been enabled for the Meeting Manager application. Once a domain is enabled, any User in the domain can host a meeting by logging in to the Meeting Manager client using PBX Portal login credentials.There are two parts to configuring Meeting Manager:Configure the PBX Auto-Attendant and Conference Bridge.Enable Meeting Manager for a Specific Domain.Notes About Audio Conference Bridges in the PBXThe Meeting Manager application uses audio conference bridges that are created in the PBX Portal.There are two separate audio conferences involved in a web meeting or video conference. One audio conference is part of the video session that gets transmitted to all web or video conference attendees. A second audio stream comes from the PBX. The PBX conference bridge allows participants to connect to the web meeting or video conference from a SIP handset or cell phone, with audio only, through the PBX.When a web meeting starts, the system makes a connection from the presenter's PBX audio conference bridge to the web meeting's audio conference bridge. This allows participants on both audio bridges to interact with each other.Remember that the domain's default PBX conference bridge (this is set in the Meeting configuration page) will be used if the presenter does not have an Owned Conference bridge.The diagram below shows how the connection is established from the PBX Audio Conference Bridge to the Web Meeting Audio Conference Bridge.Participants that are using the Meeting Manager client will see a single connection called PBX as being active when participants from the PBX conference bridge are speaking.The individual participants connected to the PBX audio conference are not displayed in the Meeting Manager client.Similarly, when viewing the Current Active Calls in the PBX portal, there will be a single session from the PBX conference bridge to the Meeting Manager web conference session with the Meeting ID displayed as the dialed number.The PBX Portal allows you to configure two types of conference bridges: Dedicated and Owned. The bridge type can be selected in the PBX Portal.The Meeting Manager application works best when each User has an Owned Audio Conference Bridge in the PBX. In this case, the User's individually Owned conference bridge information will be used for any meeting they host.Suppose the User does not have an Owned audio conference bridge. In that case, a Dedicated conference bridge may be specified in the form used to Enable Meeting Manager for a Specific Domain (you will need to create the actual conference bridge in the PBX portal separately).However, just like a physical conference room, it will be possible for multiple meeting hosts to attempt to enter the Dedicated audio conference bridge simultaneously.Route a DID to the Conference Center Auto-Attendant The Conference Center Auto Attendant is a pre-created system feature. The greeting says the following: Thank you for calling the Conference center. To join a conference, please enter the conference room number now.Create a Routing User that forwards all calls to 02020202. The 02020202 extension is a unique system number that will connect callers to an Auto-Attendant that will prompt for the Conference Room number.Route a DID to the Routing User you just created in the previous step by going to Inventory.Next, locate the DID to route to your Routing User and click on the Edit button  found to the right of the DID entry.In the dialog that opens, select Treatment as User, and in the User entry, type in the extension for the Routing User.Click the Save button to finalize the changes.Whether you use an Owned or Dedicated Conference Bridge, having a DID routed to the Conference Center Auto-Attendant is needed. This routing configuration will allow you to use a single DID to service any number of conferences.Configuring an Owned Conference Bridge Navigate to the PBX Portal and select the domain where the owner of the Owned Conference Bridge is located.Next, click on Conferences in the menu at the top.Click the Add Conference button to load a modal box to add a conference bridge.Enter a name for the conference bridge.Under the Type heading, select Owned conference bridge, which will show the Owned and Direct Dial fields.Enter the extension of the desired owner.Note: The owner cannot be changed.If desired, enter a number into the Direct Dial field. The Direct Dial field allows someone from the same domain to dial the conference bridge as they would with an extension.For a Direct Phone Number, if the number is shared with other conference bridges, please DO NOT configure a DID for the conference bridge here; you may leave the field blank during configuration. Instead, please use a DID routed to the Conference Center Auto Attendant, as specified above.Enter a Leader and Participant PIN.Select '1' as the Minimum participant to start.Check the box for Announce participant arrivals/departures.Click the Save button.Configuring a Dedicated Conference BridgeIf you want a single bridge instead of individual users having their own conference bridge, follow the setup below.Navigate to the PBX Portal and select the domain where the Dedicated Conference Bridge will be located.Click on Conferences in the menu at the top.Click the Add Conference button to load a modal box to add a conference bridge.Enter a name for the conference bridge.Under the Type heading, select the Dedicated conference bridge option.After selecting the Dedicated conference bridge type, the Extension field should be available to edit.Enter an extension. If the extension already exists, this setting will override the extension's "Always" forward rule and forward to the conference bridge instead. Note: The extension cannot be changed.Please DO NOT configure a Direct Phone Number, as this should be done afterward in the Inventory.Select '1' as the Minimum participant to start.Check the box for Announce participant arrivals/departures.Click the Save button.In order for the integration between Meeting Manager and the PBX Conference Bridges to work correctly, the following settings should be followed in the PBX Bridge:Minimum Participant to Start should be set to '1.'Require a Leader to start checkbox should be left unchecked.                   The PBX Conference Bridge settings should be configured, as shown in the image below.Note: If you use a Dedicated Conference Bridge, then you must also select it as the Default Conference Bridge when enabling Meeting Manager for an individual domain (see next step below)Enabling Meet Manager for Individual DomainsYou will need to enable Meeting Manager access for each domain separately. Once you have enabled Meeting Manager access for a domain, any User in the domain can host a meeting by logging in to the Meeting Manager client using PBX Portal login credentials.Log in to the Reseller Dashmanager.Under the Apps drop-down menu, click on the Meetings button.Click on the New Company button to reach the configuration form.Complete the form using the parameters and values below (* denotes a required entry).Field NameValue to EnterName *The name of the Company that this Meeting space will be assigned to.Number of Meeting Rooms *Enter the number of rooms that you would like to make available to this domain.

You can select a default conference bridge to use when the User doesn't have an owned conference bridge therefore it would typically be a dedicated conference bridge.Please Note: if there are multiple meetings and if none of those who started the meetings have their owned conference bridges, they will be placed into the same dedicated conference bridge.Verifying the Setup of Meeting Manager to PBX Conference Bridge IntegrationOnce the Conference Bridge is properly set up you will be able to log in to the Meeting Manager and host a meeting.The 2 ways to know if your meeting manager is connected to the conference bridge are: You will see the meeting ID matching a "current active calls" in your PBX portal.The meeting ID is also shown in the "conference's participant" through the conference tab in your portal.
