Publicly accessible conference call in feature

[Xenophanes00]

Does this feature exist in CallManager 6?  The Ad-hoc and Meet-me conference features seem to be designed for internal use and control only.  Is there a way to have a conference bridge assigned to a public facing DN that people could call into and be dropped right into a conference call without the need for a moderator to intercept their calls and then add them?

I'm not sure if this is an existing feature or something that could be configured cleverly that I'm unaware of.

Thanks!

Hi Shane,

In any/all versions of CUCM you can't "start" a Meetme from outside but you can dial

into a Meetme without any intervention (moderator/intercept) provided that the Meetme

DN is a  DID number & that the conference has already been started by an internal user

If you are using CUCM Meetme now and are hearing any type of moderator/intercept

it's because the Meetme is being "front-ended" by Unity, Unity Connection or UCCX

but it certainly doesn't have to be.

Cheers!

Rob
