I.1 SwyxServer as a Conference Server
SwyxWare is ideally suited to function as a Conference server for an existing telecommunications system in the company. In this way, an existing, classical telecommunication system can be expanded to include a modern conference server functionality and later be completely replaced with a VoIP telecommunication system, without compromising any of the investments that have already been made. The existing SwyxWare now has to be extended with the corresponding number of users and channel licenses, if necessary.
Requirements
If you would like to equip the conference room with extended functions such as authentication of the conference participants via PIN, you will need the SwyxWare option pack 'Extended call routing'.As your Enreach distribution partner from whom you have purchased your SwyxWare or send your questions per email to presales@swyx.com.
SwyxWare is operated on several internal BRI or PRI connections of the existing telecommunication system to be extended, depending on the capacity required. The classical telecommunication system must support the Euro-ISDN signaling protocol on these ports (or Q.Sig on an internal BRI ).
Please note that you will need one B channel per conference participant, which means that to hold two three-person conferences at the same time, you will need six channels or three BRIs, for example.
Installation
Make certain that conference participant is set up correctly and assign him an additional number if necessary (11.9 Conference).
Configuration
The necessary configurations can be differentiated in the configuration of the telecommunication system, which takes precedence over the SwyxWare, and in the configuration of the SwyxWare.
This is how you configure your telecommunication system for a Conference server
1 The numbers of the conference rooms have to be entered into the routing table of the telecommunication system, so they can be signaled to SwyxWare at the internal S0 or S2m. You may have to ask the manufacturer of your old telecommunication system about this.
This is how you configure SwyxWare for a Conference server
1 Configure SwyxServer and SwyxGate for operation as a sub-telecommunication system.
2 Based on your needs, enter additional numbers to the conference participants configured in SwyxWare Administration (7.5.4 The "Internal Numbers" Tab).
3 Configuration of the Conference Participant:
Create rules here, if necessary with the help of the Call Routing Manager, which allow authentication via a PIN, number identification or similar parameters.
* 
External subscribers can reach the conference room per direct dial or by transferring the call from telephone in the telecommunication system.
 
If the number of conference participants equals the number of available SwyxGate channels, additional subscribers who would like to dial into the conference will receive a busy signal.
