[cisco-voip] How to limit the number of conference participan ts?

[Schuett, Court (MBNAP it)]

You could swing them through a Unity server and have it ask if the person
should be allowed to join.  That might accomplish the same thing, but that
would only work on MeetMe conferences.  

I guess the question is: why are you trying to limit the number of people
per conference?  Maybe there is a different or better way to accomplish the
same thing.

With the CM software CFB you are only limited by the max number of
conference participants total.  By default in 4.1(3) it is 48 and note that
this is completely independent of the number of  
conferences.   Ignoring the max-participants you could have one  
conference of 40 people and two conferences of 4 people and the server would
be out of resources.

Not from what experience shows. Also, the help file specifically  
refers to the number of participants. I wish we could limit the

conference calling on a CallManager without worry of to many  
conference calls overloading the system.

Maximum Ad Hoc Conference :This parameter specifies the maximum  
number of participants that are allowed in a single ad hoc  
conference. The value of this field depends on the capabilities of  
software/hardware conference bridge; for example, the capability  
software conference bridge can be up to 64. Warning: CTI applications  
do not support more than 16 participants. So although an Ad Hoc  
conference can support more than 16 participants, the participants  
list used by CTI applications will display only the 16 most recent  
conference participants.
This is a required field.
Default: 4.
Minimum: 3.
Maximum: 64.
Maximum MeetMe Conference Unicast :This parameter specifies the  
maximum number of participants that are allowed in a single Unicast  
Meetme Conference. The value of this field       depends on the  
capabilities of software/hardware conference bridge; for example, the  
capability of software conference bridge can be up to 128. Specifying  
a value less than 3 allows upto 3 participants
This is a required field.
Default: 10.
Minimum: 1.
Maximum: 128.

HI Lelio,

As far as I know, the two options in CallManager service parameters  
are to limit the number of conference, NOT the number of member/ 
participant in a conference. Please correct me if i am wrong. thanks

service parameters > Cisco CallManager > CTRL-F & look for 'ad hoc' >  
the second or third should be "Maximum Ad Hoc Conference"

Just below it should be the meet me conference maximum.

Hi,

I need to limit the number of conference participants for either ad- 
hoc or meet-me type. I only know how to limit the number of  
conferences and not the number of conference participants. Does  
anyonee know how to do this? thanks
