I.1 SwyxServer as a Conference Server
Swyx is an excellent choice as a conference server for a telecommunications system already in place at a 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. All that's left to do is expand the existing Swyx installation to include the appropriate number of users and, if necessary, channel licenses.
Requirements
If you would like to equip the conference room with advanced features such as PIN-based authentication for conference participants, you will also need the Swyx Options package "Extended call routing. " Please contact the Enreach sales partner from whom you purchased your Swyx software, or send your inquiry by email to presales@swyx.com.
Swyx is deployed on multiple internal S servers, depending on the required capacity0 or S2m of the existing telecommunications system to be expanded. 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
Install Swyx as a secondary PBX; see D.2 Connecting Swyx as a Sub-PBX to a Main PBX.
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 divided into the configuration of the PBX system, which takes precedence over Swyx, and the configuration of Swyx itself.
This is how you configure your telecommunication system for a Conference server
1 The phone numbers for the conference rooms must be entered in the PBX's routing table so that calls can be routed to the internal S0 or S2m via Swyx. You may have to ask the manufacturer of your old telecommunication system about this.
How to Configure Swyx for a Conference Server
1 Configure SwyxServer and SwyxGate for operation as a sub-telecommunication system.
2 Assign additional phone numbers to the conference participant set up in Swyx Administration according to your needs; see 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.
