Controls during the conference bridge

Before the conference begins, participants and moderator can press # to mute/unmute the on hold music.  Once the conference commences, conference control commands are available to both moderators and participants at any time during the conference. Only the person who chooses to use this feature by pressing * during the conference hears the menu while other participants continue talking, or listening in to the conference.

Moderator Control Menu

To access the moderator control menu at any time during the conference, press *, then press:

1 – Mute or unmute this line

2 – Participant count, followed by roll call

3 – Turn on or turn off Lecture Mode

4 – Lock or unlock conference

8 – End conference

# – To return to the conference

* – Repeat the menu options

Note

• Power dial – If you don’t want to listen to the menu, simply press * then the digit for the option you want.  (e.g., you can press “*4” to lock the conference.) If you enter any digit other than what’s noted here, you are returned back to the conference.

• After Lecture Mode, ask to unmute – Lecture Mode mutes participants so that the moderator may speak uninterrupted. After Lecture Mode has been enabled, then disabled, the moderator must ask participants to unmute their lines by pressing *1. Otherwise participants will remain muted.

Participant Control Menu

Control functions are also available to participants who are not moderators. To access the participant control menu at any time during the conference, press *, then press:

# – To return to the conference
