This chapter describes the CNF24 card and its capacity.
Overview
The OfficeServ CNF24 card provides 24 ports of voice conference services per card and supports
transceiver function of packet data converted from voice data through the data network. The users
can be internal and external participants using SIP trunks, PRI trunks, and SPNet trunks.
A CNF24 card provides conference sizes from 2 to 24 users per card. The maximum recording
capacity per card is 50 hours. One card can record up to 6 conferences simultaneously. The main
function of this card is the Meet-Me-Services function where users will dial into a conference
bridge number. Additional services support Ad hoc services.
Major Functions
Functions of CNF24 are as follows.
Supports Meet-Me conferences in which participants make a phone call to the phone system to
attend the conference.
Supports Ad hoc conferences in which the host calls each member to invite him/her to
participate in the conference.
Permits a participant to enter the conference after notifying members in the conference.
Provides the conference host additional functions during the conference by using a Conference
The CNF24 card can be installed on OfficeServ 7400 (MP40) and OfficeServ 7200 (MP20,
MP20S) but can’t be installed on OfficeServ7200 MCP or OfficeServ 7400 (Smart Media).
The CNF24 card has 24 conference channels and up to maximum 4 cards can be installed
on OfficeServ 7400. Conference group can be increased as more CNF24 cards are installed
on the system.
When recording and/or paging features are used the number of conference members
allowed to attend the conference is decreased since the recording and paging features
occupy one conference channel each. See table below for details.
If the CNF24 card is installed on the slot which supports more than 24 channels, all 24
conference channels are used. If installed on a 16 channel slot, only 16 conference
channels are supported.
A license per channel is required to use the conference service.
The maximum number of channels/license allowed per system is as following:
96 licenses (24 channels x 4 CNF24 Cards) on the OfficeServ 7400.
48 licenses (24 channels x 2 CNF24 Cards) on the OfficeServ 7200.
24 licenses (24 channels x 1 CNF24 Card) on the OfficeServ 7200-S.
CNF24 Technical Manual
Figure 2.3 CNF24 License
The maximum number of licenses is configured in DM 9.1.2.
Each CNF24 card has a unique MAC address, and the OfficeServ system uses the MAC
address to manage the card information. If the card location is changed, the user is
required to update the setup information as follows:
When the CNF24 card is installed in slot A no update is required.
When the CNF24 card is originally installed in slot A and then moved to slot B, the
CNF24 information is automatically updated but user is required to delete slot A
information in Device Manager 6.3.1.
When installed CNF24 card is pulled out and replaced with a new CNF24 card installed in
the same slot, MAC address of the new card is updated automatically.
When existing CNF24 card installed in slot A is pulled out and it is replaced by a new
CNF24 card installed in slot B, user is required to clear Slot A setup information in
Device Manager 6.3.1 and assign new CNF24 IP address in Device Manager 2.2.16.
CNF24 Card Status
The OfficeServ system provides conference services when the CNF24 card status is active.
In the following cases the card status will change to idle:
LAN connection between system and CNF24 card
System checks the card status every 5 seconds and if the network cable of the CNF24
card is disconnected, system will restrict all conference services until LAN connection is
recovered.
Card Parameter Setting
When IP address is not assigned to CNF24 card, the system can’t check card status.
Every time a new CNF24 card is installed user must assign an IP address.
Service License Key
License key is required to use conference service. Without a license key, a “NO
CONFERENCE CHANNELS ARE AVAILABLE” message displays on the phone. Check
service license key in case of system initialization or change country selection.

This chapter describes the Meet-Me Conference and the Ad-Hoc features.
The CNF24 card supports 2 types of conference:
1. Meet-Me Conference
2. Ad-Hoc
Users can host a meet-me conference of up to 24 members maximum or multiple smaller
conferences with less attendees by using the CNF24 card.
Conference Groups participants can be configured from 2 to 24 members (See Table 4.1).
The Recording and Paging features use a port/channel each. For example: if you are
planning a conference for 5 attendees, you will require 7 ports (if Recording and Paging
features are selected).
The maximum recording time per CNF24 card is 50 hours, and concurrent recordings of up
to 6 separate conference calls (per CNF24 card) are allowed.
Conferences can be any combination of internal or outside attendees in various
combinations, but never more than 24. For example, with one CNF24 card you can have
any one conference up to 24 parties. Simultaneously you can have 2 conferences of 12, 4
conferences of 6, 6 conferences of 4, 3 conferences of 8, a 10 party + a 14 party, a 16
party + an 8 party, and so on. You cannot bridge channels on one CNF24 card with
channels on another CNF24 card.
Enabling the Recording and Paging features will reserve one channel for each service of
the available 24 channels.
Meet-Me conference is established when users join the conference reserved in advanced by
the host. Meet-Me conference host can supervise and manage the conference by using the
Conference Manager web program.

Transfer Into Meet-Me Conference
This feature allows a conference attendee to transfer another member into the Meet-Me
Conference.
There are two ways of transferring a current call onto a Meet-Me conference.
1) During a Conversation
When user <A> and user <B> are on a conversation, <A> can transfer <B> into the
Meet-me conference.
(a) During a conversation, <A> selects [TRSF]+[MJOIN].
(b) User A enters the conference ID and password while the opposite party <B> is on
hold.
(c) User <A> then is disconnected and User <B> joins the Meet-Me conference.
2) While on a Meet-me Conference
When user <A> joins the Meet-me conference, <A> can add <B> as a conference
member without <A> being disconnected.
(a) During Meet-Me conference, <A> selects [MJOIN].
(b) When hearing dial tone, <A> dials the phone number of <B>.
(c) After connecting with <B>, <A> selects [MJOIN] again.
Then both <A> and <B> join the conference at the same time.
※ In this case <A> is already a Meet-Me conference attendee before adding <B>.
Users can set-up an Ad-Hoc conference with up to 24 parties (you and 23 others). The
maximum number of attendees is determined by the number of channels dedicated to the
Ad-Hoc conference feature. The parties can be internal stations or outside calls. The Ad-Hoc
conference works similar to the OfficeServ Add-On conference but is not limited to 5 parties.
Users must have the MCONF button to initiate an Ad-Hoc conference.
Features
Ad-hoc conferences can be established when there are at least 3 members. If one of
members disconnects the call, the Ad-Hoc conference is also disconnected.
If there are more than 4 members in the conference and the host disconnects the call,
one of remaining members becomes the master.
Conference Progress
Assign [MCONF] key to station user in DM 4.9.2 or set feature code in DM 2.8.0.
1.
Station A presses [MCONF] key or dials its feature code during a conversation with
2.
Station B, and dials Station C to invite to an Ad-Hoc conference.
Be sure that Ad-Hoc conference with MCONF key uses CNF24 conference channels
not System resources and station A become the conference host.
Press [MCONF] key.
3.
If host wants to invite another member, dial that member’s number.
If not, dial [MCONF] key again.
Ad-Hoc conference with station A, B and C is now established.
