Set up your conference groups in 20-34 with passwords, conference length, etc.

Set up the group number in 11-19

Local users on MLT or SLT will just dial the conference group number, enter the password and they are connected.

Remote users can call in and enter the conference group number, enter the password and they are connected. I have a couple of systems that have DID's I have just forwarded to the conference so all they have to enter is the password. Multiple users, it works great. If they have analog lines and experience dB loss (which I have not come across), you can increase the conference gain in 14-01-04 and 05, but I think that only effects if it is done via phone and not the conference group.

If you are only going to have a single conference room, you can set-up the bridge button on the Polycom to automatically dial the extension and password with a single press of the soft button. Otherwise, you can set up each room in the phonebook and they would select it from the list.

Hi cswroe,

You are not late to the party. Actually you are right on time. Thanks for the input.
I have the SoundStation 2W on the way and I should have it next week.

Presently I have the SLT port patched through to a RJ11 jack. I have tested it with my
butt set and it is good. Have not done anything else at this time.

As for the programming you have provided is exactly what I needed. I will set those
locations as suggested.

Question: Locally there are only 4 CO lines so the number of remote users will be limited
to two(2). If the are calling in they would be answered by the receptionist. The receptionist
will then transfer to Ext. 181, will the remote user then be asked to enter the passcode or
will the receptionist do this when transferring??

Once I get the unit connected I may have other specific questions. grin

Thanks for the assist.
