Adding Conference Bridge info to meeting in Calendar

Hello,
I'm looking at making a room mailbox for a conference call line that our company utilizes. I know how to make the resource mailbox, meeting attendant and even a customized message to confirm the resource is scheduled. However, I'm not sure how to modify
it to where all attendees see the number and passcode in their calendar for the meeting. Should I be using an equipment mailbox instead? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create a Lync meeting in Outlook:
Then all attendees just need to click "Join Lync Meeting" to join the meeting. For the conference call, please use the conference phone to dial one of the numbers listed in "Find a local number link" list to join the Lync meeting. For more information
about joining a conference call by phone, please refer to:

Customized dial script for conference bridge meeting ID

Hello, first time poster, here.
I have the 8830 and want to peform the following actions:
open an apointment which contains a meeting ID for a conference call (when you dial into a bridge)
have an option with the 'blackberry' button to 'copy' that value
(similar to current built-in function to call a number (two 'bb' button pushes), but instead to autoselect on the word boundary and 'copy')
Then select the conference bridge dial-in number and, prior to dialing, insert a pause at the end of the phone number, then tack that ID number onto the end
Then dial the full number, including the ID value after the pause (allowing the autoattendant to answer), which will then feed it the ID and press pound
Is there a way to script this in the BB OS environment? Any info on tools to access these capabilities?
I'm a technical guy but new to the BB OS.
Thanks in advance.
Eric

In the Outlook invitation type the bridge numbers in this format. Use no more than 2 dashes in the bridge phone number. Skip one space. Type an x, the PIN and the # sign. The participants can sign on now with one BB click. The meeting organizer will still have to manually key in the start code, but can still one click the bridge to that point.
EXAMPLE: +1555-222-3456 x123456#

How to trigger Linksys SPA 942 to send the info configured in Conference Bridge URL?

According to the Adminstration Guide for Linksys SPA 942, Conference Bridge URL field under EXT tab should be used to join into a conference call. However, when I press on CONF or confLx, I do not see the Conference Bridge URL gets sent in the INVITE message. Is there anything special I need to do to trigger the Conference Bridge URL to be sent?

Conference Bridge URL is the URL used to join into a conference call, generally in the form of the word “conference” or “user@IPaddressort”. By default it is blank so you need to fill the specific user and IP address with the appropriate port for the said settings to work. I further look into this matter and maybe you can be guided with this via this link:
https://www.myciscocommunity.com/thread/1457
Other than that I suggest contacting Cisco Tech support to further look into your concern. I believe this unit belongs to the business series devices that Cisco is now supporting. Try to go to this link for the other business series devices and the site where you can get hold of Cisco for support:

Dial In Conference Bridge

Hello all. We have CCM 4.1(3)sr1 and Unity. We currently have a pub and a sub and have each configured as a software conference bridge for meetme's and adhoc's. Is it possible with this equipment to set up a permanent conference bridge that we can map and external DID that we can give to users to join a repeating weekly conference? If not, what is needed to make this happen, or can you direct me to the docs to find out? Thanks
Brian

Meetme number can be configured as its DID number itself (9725425900 for callers calling from outside. Telco sends 5900 to your PRI, 5900 is a meetme number)
or
you can create a Translation pattern which maps to a Meetme number. The Translation pattern could be a DID number. So your meet me number in this case will be a non-DID number say 5800. You create a translation pattern 5900 (which is a DID number) and translate that to 5800.
The conference host should dial 5900 at the right time of the conference so that people calling in will be added to the bridge.

IOS Conference Bridge Vs. IOS Transcoder

Hello all,
I was wondering what the primary advantage is to setting up both IOS Hardware Transcoding resources and an IOS conference bridge for DSP farm use.
The reason I ask is that I know that an IOS transcoder can actually be used for conference purposes, is the IOS conference bridge a more efficient way to do this vs. just using the transcoder?
The reason I ask is because from my research our end users need to use the transcoding resource far more often than conference bridging for g.729-g.711 conversions. If I wanted to utilize the DSP farm resources for a router and knew that transcoding would be used frequently and conference bridging only occasionally wouldn't it make sense to configure that resource as as a transcoder and let it also handle the conference bridging, even though it will not be as efficient at it as a dedicated IOS resource?

Hi,
I believe DSP chips can be set as a transcoder or conf bridge, but once you allocate a DSP chip as a Transcoder, it remains as transcoder and cannot be used as a Conf Bridge. Of course a Transcoder can also act as an MTP.
Secondly, you definitely need DSP based HW Transcoders whenever you need anything which does not involve G.711 (e.g. G.729 to G.729ab or G.726 etc) aka Universal Transcoding. Software Transcoders can only do transcoding between G.711 and any other Codec.
It really depends on if your network needs a transcoder or not (in my case, so far I have never needed a transcoder) however there have been plenty of Conf Bridge requirement (e.g. Meet Me Conf Bridges or Ad-Hoc Conf bridges).
A transcoding can be really avoided whole together if either your system is completely G.711 or both the parties can / do support the other alternate codec e.g. a remote site to local site can be configured to use G.729 codec, however if both the parties can use G.729, then there is no need for a Codec at all.

No conference bridge

Hi.
I have CUCM 7 , and suddenly conference function stop worked. I can call to one person, hit conference button, call to another person, but when hitting conference button again, it says - no conference bridge.
In media recources i have configured software conference bridge which is assigned to device pool and have registred status. Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming App is started.
I try to add it to MRG and MRGL, it does not help, but before worked without adding CFB to MRGL.
I found some solution for single device - in phone configuration - add manually MRGL which by default is none, but i have more then 100 phones and this is will be not proper way to make conference function work on all phones.
Any suggestions about why it stop worked and how to bring it back?
Codec used by default is g711. CUCM has been rebooted 2 times, and CFB has been readded , but it does not help.

Make sure all the region settings are set to g711. If the conference bridge is allocated to a MRG then it will not be available by default to other phones which do not have a MRGL defined with this resource in the MRG. For all the IP phones to have access to it by default, you need to remove it from all MRG's. However, assigning the MRGL's to devices with proper MRG's is the recommended approach.

Had iPad and just added iPhone. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it wiped out all my data that was on my iPad! Can I get it back?

Have ipad2 & just added iphone5. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it took blank iPhone calendar as default and wiped out my iPad calendar with my "life" on it! Can I recover the lost info?

If you backed it up to your computer using iTunes, restoring to the backup should recover it. (Apple's documentation isn't clear about whether or nott an iCloud backup includes your calendar events but it may.)

My calendar on my iPhone 4 erases all data over a month old except for recurring events. How Do I get it to keep the info and not erase calendar events?

How to enter a conference bridge code?

I'm switching from Blackberry where I was able to enter a telephone number followed by the conference bridge code and all that I had to do to dial and enter the code was hit enter twice. It looked like this: 1-999-999-9999, #99999999*.
Is something similar available on iPhone?
Thanks.

Type the number in exactly the same, put a couple comas after the numer for pauses to allow the phone system to answer then enter the access code followed by a #, then press Send.

Video Conferencing with IOS Homogeneous Video Conference Bridge

Dears,
I have CUCM 8.6 and 3945 Cisco router with 2 x PVDM-256
I configured the IOS Homogeneous Video Conference Bridge. and I did the required configurations in the router. and I can see the conferencing bridge is registered.
I put the conference bridge in the existing MRG and MRGL. But I am not able to do video conferencing. I can get only the audio.
is there any thing missing ? any reolad should I do ?

Sure.
So on the gateway that you have the video conference configured, in which we have guranteed voice as the configuration, you will also add in an MTP profile. The MTP profile will be configured as software and have the appropriate codec configured that you may be using because of your regions. We have g722-64 and passthrough on one because we saw the E20's requesting MTP resources from the logs.
We also have additional MTP profiles configured for other codecs to include G729r8, etc.
Register the codecs to CUCM.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish but we were shooting for w448p thus made sure that the "Region" for the device pool associated with the Media Resource Group for each MTP was set to 1MB for the video bandwidth.
I hope this makes since if not I will try to pull down a config for you

Problems in conference bridge after migrating to 4.1.3SR3 from 4.1.3

very recently i upgraded my CCM from 4.1.3 to 4.1.3 SR3. i use 3725 with DSP farm as conference bridge ( the ios code on 3725 is 12.3.11 T7 )
the conferencing stopped working for me as soon as press conference on my after callint the 2md party, both my calls get dropped.i see that the CCM registers the bridge and also in SCCP config of gateway i see the CCM registered.
for testing purpose i configured one my 3845( with same version) over WAN as my conference bridge and then conference worked fine for me.
there are few command difference in 3725 and 3845 . In 3845 i can configure CCM version as 4.1 and in 3725 i can do only 3.1 or greater. i am not sure if this is problem or not.
in CCM traces i got this unusal error which is attached
please let me know any pointers on this
thanks
manish

We are also having the same issue, 3725 used as conf resource, as soon as we press conf button all calls are dropped with fast busy. we are using CM 3.3.5 and IOS 12.3.7T12.
cisco TAC poked around and could not find anything wrong with config (of course, we have other sites with identical config all working ok). so they said it must be bad DSPs even thou there are no DSP errors on the router. i doubt it is DSP issue but i'll let you know when TAC figures it out.

CUCM 9.x conference bridge not working

Hi all,
I'm new to CUCM and IP telephony, and as soon as I have set up my new CUCM I have encounter a problem, as it usually happens that way
Anyhow, I have install CUCM, insert phones in it, setup up router, all the dial peers, connect it via SIP to outside, and everything is working fine. Well, not everything. My conference calls can not be established. I know I need to set up dspfarm for conference with outside calls, however, I'm having problems even with creating conference inside my LAN with all phones being connected to same CUCM.
For example, I'm calling my college, she picks up, then I pres conference, call my other callege, she goes on waiting, he picks up, and I have line open with him, and she is on waiting... When I click conference again, I get the message on phone, no conference bridge.
I have Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming App up and running(i have tried reseting service, still nothing). Under conference bridge I have default conference bridge with default settings. I have also tried same thing on my trial CUCM 8.5x with demo licences and 3 softphones, and everything is working. However, on fully implemented CUCM 9.x and 7942 phones, get no conference bridge message all the time... Any help would be more then welcome

Hello Wesley,
It was only after I posted that I notice I have posted on wrong forum... My apologies to everyone, it was unintentional
Thank you kindly for your response, and although I have checked, and region is set to use G.711 and G.722, you still might be correct, casue, as I said, I'm new to all of this, and I might be looking into wrong thing... I will look a bit more into it, and see what I might have done wrong, and if I need further assistence, I will post it on right place next time
If I need to check correct answer, so this topic can be closed, please let me know, I will do so.
Once again, my apologies to everyone

CallManager 5.1 no conference bridge available / cannot complete conference

CM 5.1, Conferencing was working at one point, the servers were rebooted and now conferencing does not work, received no conference bridge available error message when trying to complete conference, found the CM was advertising g722 codec, disabled that function. Now receiving cannot complete conference error message, rebooted IP voice streaming media services, reset conference bridges, both are registered, anybody got any other ideas on why this is not fuctioning properly??
Thanks ahead of time...

No Available Conference Bridge
Symptom
The following message displays: No Conference Bridge Available.
Possible Cause
This could indicate either a software or a hardware problem.
Recommended Action
1. Check to see whether you have any available software or hardware conference bridge resources that are registered with Cisco Unified CallManager.
2. Use the Cisco Unified CallManager Real-Time Monitoring Tool to check the number of Unicast AvailableConferences.
The Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application performs the conference bridge function. One software installation of Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming will support 16 Unicast Available Conferences (three people/conference), as shown in the following trace.
To make a call between two devices that are using a low bit rate code (such as G.729 and G.723) that do not support the same codec, you need a transcoder resource.
Assume Cisco Unified CallManager has been configured such that the codec between Region1 and Region2 is G.729. The following scenarios apply:
?If caller on Phone A initiates a call, Cisco Unified CallManager realizes it is a Cisco Unified IP Phone model 7960, which supports G.729. After the digits are collected, the Cisco Unified CallManager determines that the call is destined for User D who is in Region2. Because the destination device also supports G.729, the call gets set up, and the audio flows directly between Phone A and Phone D.
?If a caller on Phone B, who has a Cisco Unified IP Phone model 12SP+, initiates a call to Phone D, this time the Cisco Unified CallManager would realize that the originating phone only supports G.723 or G.711. Cisco Unified CallManager would need to allocate a transcoding resource so audio would flow as G.711 between Phone B and the transcoder but as G.729 between the transcoder and Phone D. If no transcoder were available, Phone D would ring, but as soon as the call was answered, the call would disconnect.
?If a user on Phone B calls Phone F, which is a Cisco Unified IP Phone model 12SP+, the two phones would actually use G.723, even though G.729 is configured as the codec to use between the regions. G.723 gets used because both endpoints support it, and it uses less bandwidth than G.729.
