Securing the Conference

The Secure Mode locks the conference and denies outside participants,
including operators, from joining the conference, monitoring and
controlling the conference in any way. However, the Operator or the
conference chairperson can terminate the conference even when the
conference is in a “secure” mode. While the conference is in Secure
Mode, the conference participants list is hidden and cannot be viewed by
the operator or any of the conference properties.
The Chairperson can enable or disable the Secure Mode from his/her
touch-tone telephone, using the appropriate DTMF codes. While the
conference is in a Secure Mode, the chairperson and participant can
perform various operations via their telephone using the appropriate
DTMF codes, such as voting, question and answer sessions etc. These
operations will not be displayed in the MGC WebCommander Meeting
Director
window. Once the chairperson secures or unsecures the
conference, an appropriate voice message is played indicating that the
conference is secured.

The Operator conference chairperson can terminate the conference even
when the conference is in Secure Mode.
When the chairperson secures the conference the following operations
cannot be performed:

Join or attend the conference

View and control the conference’s participants

View and monitor the conference properties

Implement voting

Initiate an invite session

The voice message is played only if it is configured in the IVR Message
Service and the appropriate audio file has been downloaded to the Audio+
card.
