TMS 15.2.1 +Join Early + Unmanaged bridge = Overlapping conferences

[jjlatessa]

We are running Cisco TMS 15.2.1.

We are using a unmanaged bridge (Acano)

We have Join early enabled.

Conferences booked back-to-back utilize the same Conference Alias.

So if I have a conference scheduled from 1:00 - 1:30 it will scheduled alias 1000

If I scheduled another conference from 1:30-2:00 it will scheduled alias 1000

Since I have Join early, a participant in confernece 2 can join at 1:25, which  will land them in Conference 1.

The alternative is to disable early join, which will mitigate this from happening for OBTP meetings, However if someone decides to dial manually or from a external site, the crash a call.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I realize support for Acano is coming in august...

You should use different conference aliases for each conference, this will allow early join with back-to-back conferences and not cause any conflict, or as you mentioned, disable early join all together.
