[cisco-voip] Meet-Me Announcing and New Question

[Court Schuett]

Just an update on this.  It worked like a charm.  A bit more detailed
description of the process for anyone googling.

 

We didn't need to restrict the partition to VPs, but just from external
calls.  So, I took the CSS that the inbound calls come in on and added a
MeetMe partition to it above our phone Partitions.  

 

Then, I created a series of translation patterns to route those numbers
from 7075 to 7675 and put the translation pattern in the MeetMe
partition.  

 

After that, I created a series of CTI route points to CFA the 7675
numbers to VM.  

 

Over on Unity, I created a Call Handler for the 7675 number and set up
the call transfer to supervise the transfer and gather information (we
also set it up to confirm).

 

Then, I created a Call Route to take Forwarded Calls from 7675 and
Attempt Transfer to the Call Handler I just set up.  

 

Worked like a charm.  Internally, anyone can create or call in to a
conference.  Externally, they are required to say their name and then
can be accepted or rejected.  Exactly what we wanted.  

 

 

 

The question I have now is this:  Is it possible for people to call in
from a cell phone and set up a Meet Me bridge.  We love the system, but
that has been a request I have heard quite a bit of.  We are currently
running CCM 4.0(1)sr2a and Unity 4.0

 

Thanks again for the help.

Fixes

 

Option 1 (Free if you have Unity)

1.	What version of CCM, (3.x has an issue with MeetMe being in
partitions if they are not XXX[X-X])
2.	Setup the MeetMe in a secured partition so only a receptionist
phone or Sr. VP can open the MeetMe via a CSS restriction.
3.	Create a VM Profile in Unity and send the call to Unity with a
translation pattern that affects everyone but the Receptionist and Sr.
VPs.
4.	Select the announce caller option and have it connect to the
MeetMe number via CSS and Translation that only Unity VM ports can use.

 

Option 2  (Free is you have CRS (IPCX or Co-Resident CRS Install)

1.	Use CCM and setup a CTI_RoutePoint and Script the options you
want via CRS

 

Option 3 (Asterisk)

1.	Look at their site and forums

We just started showing everyone the features and capabilities of the
Meet-Me conference bridge, and everyone loves it.  They've started using
it, and you can guess where this is going.  They were talking and didn't
realize someone was in the call because they didn't hear his beep.  Is
there a way to announce the entries?  Or flash a light or make the beep
louder?  I've been looking all over for it and haven't found anything.
The only other workaround I thought of was using an operator to take the
calls, then announce and transfer the calls.  Is there an automatic way
to do that?

 

Thanks.
