I didn't try transferring the call, I'll try that when I can. That's something I wouldn't have thought of. I think the 3-way calling was basically what I did with the Grandstream GXP2000 phone I was using. I connected to one conference (A), and then used the CONF button to connect conf. A to conference B on the other server. I'm going to try to script a softphone to do the same function in the background (so it would seem transparent to the user).

A member of conference 1 calls conference extension B and connects them. To me that would be most logical.

I’d call it something like Conference Room Clustering.

I have no chance to try it right now. Oliver, did you try this way? Regards, Nikolay. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Oliver Garraux Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 12:07 AM To: [email protected] 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
