Good point about the Cisco phone having to start the call. Our customer had an analog polycom conference phone in the main room they used for conferences and we had to add a Cisco IP Phone in the room to start the meet-me. <br>

<div class="Ih2E3d">We did this before and the method we used was to make the 1800 number point to a call handler in unity. When Unity answered the first promt said something like, Welcome to xyz company conference bridge please enter your conference passkey, then when they entered the passkey it would transfer them to the meet-me conference. The passkey was just one of the extensions of the meet-me conference. An IP phone had to first log into the bridge to initiate it. Its been a while since I tried it and there may be a better way to do it now but it worked and has been that way for a few years. I think we created 6-7 meet-me bridges that got used and reserved from an echange calendar. No integration to CM here this was just the method they used to manage it.<br>

<br> Hi guys,<br><br> I'm newbie in CCM (now CUCM) currently, I'm working in a LAB with<br> CUCM6.0. After some test, all seems working well so far!. However, today my friend ask me about conferencing, here the<br>
situation:<br><br> He need create a conference bridge, for example, an internal<br> extension and the others participants dial to internal extension<br> and then all are in conference... easy meet-me!!!! But, he asked,<br>
I need also a key in order to connect to the conference.... so I<br> think that meet-me don't work with passwords/keys to dial a<br> conference... so how can I create a conference bridge that need<br> the internal extension or toll-free number and one password/key to<br>
join the conference.... pls... only I have CUCM6.0 and Unity 5.x...<br><br> Thanks....<br><br> -- Omar E.P.T<br> -----------------<br> Certified Networking Professionals make better Connections!<br> _______________________________________________<br>
