RMX 2000 Administrator's Guide Version 7.6.1 - Polycom

Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide
— If no identifier is entered, the participant connects as a standard, undefined
participant.
• If the chairperson identifier is entered, the participant is requested to enter the
chairperson password. In this flow, the chairperson password is not validated with the
external database application, only with the MCU.
— If the correct chairperson password is entered, the participant is connected to the
conference as its chairperson.
— If the wrong password is entered, he/she is disconnected from the conference.
To enable conference access validation for all participants the following conferencing
components are required:
• The external database must hold the conference password or the participant personal
password/PIN code or the participant’s Alias.
• The Conference IVR Service assigned to the conference (defined in the Profile) must be
configured to authenticate the participant’s right to access the conference with the
external database application for all requests. In addition it must be configured to
prompt for the Conference Password.
Conference Access Validation - Chairperson Only (Upon Request)
An alternative validation method at the conference level is checking only the chairperson
password with the external database application. All other participants can be checked only
with the MCU (if the Conference IVR Service is configured to prompt for the conference
password) or not checked at all (if the Conference IVR Service is configured to prompt only
for the chairperson password).

Figure D-4 Conference Access - Chairperson Password validation with external database application
Joining the conference entails the following steps:
• When the conference is started (either in the Ad Hoc flow or in the standard method),
all participants connecting to the conference are moved to the conference IVR queue
where they are prompted for the conference password.
• If the Conference IVR Service is configured to prompt for the Conference password, the
participant is requested to enter the conference password. In this flow, the conference
password is not validated with the external database application, only with the MCU.
— If the wrong password is entered, he/she is disconnected from the conference.
