Adding and updating an auto attendant

The name of the auto attendant.

The number with which to register the auto attendant on the gatekeeper and/or SIP registrar.

See Configuring H.323 gatekeeper settings and SIP settings for details.

Select H.323 gatekeeper if you want the Numeric ID to be registered with the H.323 gatekeeper; select SIP registrar if you want the Numeric ID registered with the SIP registrar.

Note that for SIP, you must configure the ID with the SIP registrar for the MCU to be able to register that ID.

If you set a PIN, all participants using the auto attendant will be required to enter this password.

Verifies the password.

If Enabled, displays the Create new conference option on the auto attendant so that the participant can create new ad hoc conferences using the auto attendant.

If disabled, participants will not be able to create new conferences from the auto attendant.

Note that this option will not be available if you have enabled Media port reservation on the Settings > Conferences page. When using port reservation mode, there can be no ad hoc conferences. For more information about port reservation, refer to Reservation of MCU media ports.

If you select All scheduled conferences, this does not include conferences configured as private.

Choose the conferences to list on the auto attendant by selecting check boxes.
