  • ENDPOINT INITIATION OF MULTIPART CONFERENCES
    Publication number: 20070223674
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method in an MCU for enabling intuitive endpoint initiation of a multipart conference. According to the invention, a number of conference numbers are pre-allocated and stored in the MCU. When dialling one of these numbers from an endpoint, a call will be routed to the MCU. Upon discovering that the call is addressing a conference number, the MCU establishes multipart conference temporarily including the initiating endpoint only. All endpoints calling the same conference number will then be included in the conference through the MCU and given the required MCU resources.
