Buisana offers an Audio Conference Bridge as an add-on feature to any of its user-based seats. When a conference bridge is added, the PBX has access to a new number that the moderator and up to 14 participants can dial into, with a unique Participant ID and a separate Moderator PIN to open the bridge.
This bridge is audio only. For desktop sharing or other collaboration, other products would need to be used, such as MyRoom within nCommand.
Locating the Conference Bridge Information
In the Customer Administration Portal, there is a section under Enterprise Services that will reveal all the details about any audio conference bridge in the PBX.
Using the Bridge
By dialing the 10 digit number for the conference, you will be connected to the system. Participants should enter the Conference ID number provided by the host, while the moderator should enter the Moderator PIN to open the bridge and connect all of the participants.
Once in the bridge, there are some commands available to moderators and participants.
