Wow, I can't think of an easy way to do that...  

 

Maybe with a phone you could call one conf bridge, then put that call on
hold and fire up another call to the other conference bridge and then
use the conferencing capabilities of the SIP phone to bridge the two...

 

This would be fairly manual of course.

Subject: [sipx-users] Connecting Multiple Conferences Together

 

Hey, 

 

I'm trying to do a proof of concept right now for possible implementing
conferencing between a couple of sites using SIPXecs.  These sites have
very limited bandwidth between them (and the bandwidth is needed for
other purposes), so I'm trying set up two separate conferences on each
end, and connect those conferences together.  There are multiple people
on each side that are on various conferences, so instead of having all
of those separate connections going across the WAN, I'd like to have one
- with all of the audio from the site mixed together.  (This is really
the whole point of the project, they have a conference server on one
side right now, but its killing them bandwidth wise to have so many
people accessing the conference remotely).

 

I've tried inviting one conference to the other, and I hear a "beep" in
the other conference but nothing occurs other than that.  I'm thinking
that if I could have one conference as a member of the other conference,
that would do what I'm wanting.  I'm not sure if that's possible though.
I've also tried looking at the configuration files for FreeSwitch, but I
wasn't really able to get anything working with that.

 

I don't know if this is something really easy that I'm just not
understanding how to do, or not possible but I've been trying this for
about six hours tonight and haven't made much progress.

 

I was able to call in to each conference with a multi-line Grandstream
phone, and conference the two conferences, and I guess that would work
but I'd really like it to be seemless for the users.

 

Anyone have suggestions or experience with this?

 

Thanks

 

Oliver
