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

Adding users to the conference creator list
Normal users can be given conference creation privileges by adding them to the conference creator list. This can be
done by accessing
Conference

Creator List
. Click on
Edit
and select the users you want to give creator privileges
to. Creators can edit and delete conferences created by them.
In addition the Administrator can delete conferences created by him or any other creator, but can edit only conferences
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.
