D-Link DVX-1000 User Manual

Section ² - Configuration

Multi-party conferences can be scheduled and conducted using the conferencing facility built into DVX-1000. Conferences

can be conducted among SIP based phones. There are two kinds of users, Creators and participants. Only the users with

‘Creator’ privileges can create and delete conferences. By default the IPPBX Administrator has the ‘Creator’ privileges.

A conference can be one of two types, DIAL-IN conference and DIAL-OUT conference. In a DIAL-OUT conference the

server will automatically start the conference by dialing out to the participants at the scheduled start of the conference,

whereas, in a DIAL-IN conference the participants are required to dial the conference number to join the conference.

However, participants can dial in to the conference number at any time during the conference period irrespective of

the type of the conference.

The following are the global parameters that the conference uses; these remain the same across conferences. They

can be accessed through

Conference

>

Configuration

.

• Retry count

- This specifies the number of times a participant will be dialed out, if he/she is busy.

• Timeout

busy.

• Mute

- This specifies the digits the participant has to enter through his phone keypad to Mute.

• Unmute

Adding users to the conference creator list

done by accessing

Conference

Edit

and select the users you want to give creator privileges

to. Creators can edit and delete conferences created by them.

he scheduled himself. The administrator by default has creator permissions, but a normal user who has been given admin

privilege will not be automatically given creator privileges, this has to be done explicitly through the CLI or Web.

Provisioning

The provisioning server is used to configure compatible devices to interoperate with DVX. The Administrator needs to

add the MAC address of the device which is to be provisioned. This is used for initial authentication and to send the SIP

credentials to the device. Addition of a new device or deletion of an existing one can be done through

Provisioning

>

DeviceList

page of DVX web interface. User has to provide the MAC address of the device and the SIP users that are

to be used with the device.

These SIP users should have been created earlier through

CallServer

>

Users

>

Add

Users

page. Provisioning

server supplies an Authentication key (a 48 hex bytes) to the device on the first communication. This authentication key

along with the SIP credentials and MAC address can be seen on the

Provision

>

DeviceList

>

view ports

page for

each device. The authentication key can be cleared by clicking the

Clear Key

button. The SIP user list can be edited

by clicking the

The configuration file that has to be sent out each of these devices has to be uploaded to DVX through the web interface.

These files are identified by Vendor ID and Model No. The administrator has the option to add a new configuration file

or delete a configuration file from the

Provisioning
