Meet Me conference with Host ID

[mdefedele]

Is there any fandangled way to create a meet me conference vdn and vector that would allow not only an access code but a host id. That way when people call into the meet me conference they are put on hold until the host arrives. Once the host arrives they would all be placed into conference simultaneously. I know you can do this with MX6200 and MX6800 but was wondering about Meet me or EMMC. Thanks

You could use variables to continue queing the callers until the conductor enters the correct code. Then once the conductor enters the code the vector routes the callers to the conference login.

The vector would go something like this:
1 wait 2 seconds hearing ring
2 collect 1 digit after announcement(if you are the conductor enter the code)
3 goto step 7 if digits = (code)
4 wait 20 seconds hearing music
5 goto step 2
6 stop
7 route to (MeetMe VDN)
8 stop

I forgot the variable... here is the correct version.

The vector would go something like this:
1 wait 2 seconds hearing ring
2 collect 1 digit after announcement(if you are the conductor enter the code)
3 set variable (A?) = digits
4 goto step 7 if (A) = (code)
5 wait 20 seconds hearing music
6 goto step 2
7 stop
8 route to (MeetMe VDN)
9 stop

Thank you for that. I am going to test it and see if it works. The only thing I am not sure about id the variable because once the host enters the code and sets the variable will it stick? or will it reset once he leaves the vector to move into the meet me vdn? Seems almost like we need some sort of a pbx qualifier to set that variable or a variable timer of sorts.

Thats a good point. I don't have much experience using variables so I dont know the answer.

I'll see if I can find any documentation on it.
