Hi, XX-5974 gives the ability to convert a multi-user chat into an audio conference by issuing a special IM command. This is accomplished by inviting all multi-user chat participants that have an associated SIP account on the system to the initiator's audio conference via sipXecs 3rd party call control facilities. The problem with that approach is that any multi-user chat participant that does not have an associated SIP account on the system (as would be the case for external participants , e.g. customers or partners) would be left out of the resulting audio conference. To remedy that problem, it would be nice if there was an ability in sipXconfig to optionally configure instructions on how to reach a given audio conference externally. Each audio conference would have such a configuration field which could be blank by default. That way, when a multi-user chat gets promoted to an audio conference, the configured instructions for how to join that conference would be provided over IM to every external participant so that they could manually join if they wished to.
The configuration field could be as simple as free-formed text and it would be up to the administrator or the conference owner to provide a string that makes sense for the given audio conference, e.g. "You can reach my audio conference by dialing 613-763-1277 and enter conference ID 4277". Alternatively, if sipXconfig offered a configuration field to define the system's external number then such a string could be automatically generated.
