Interactive Group Communications 2000 (IGC User 2000) is an advanced audioconferencing system with features that save time and increase productivity. IGC’s
Individually Managed Interactive Control (IMinControl™) technology simulates
same-room dynamics. It lets you:
• Make an external private call while still listening to others in the background
• Choose if and when to introduce the external caller into a team call
• “Whisper” to one person or more without disengaging
• Control the volume of each participant.

Types of Team Call Users
There are different types of users, each having a different level of access to IGC User
features.
UserUsers can only be created by the network administrator,
and have their own accounts with an individual PIN for
login to IGC User software. Use rs can create and mana ge
teams to be called as a group, and can schedule different
types of calls.
The teams can consist of other Users and PersonalUsers.
Personal-UserPersonal-Users can be created by Users from a limited
pool of non-entity users defined by the IGC
administrator. You can define multiple phone numbers
for your Personal-Users, which enable IGC to look for
and find them when you need them.
Personal-Users do not have their own accounts or PINs.
They cannot create other Personal-Users or log into the
Call Manager. Personal-Users join a call by dialing the
number 1.
However, when you want to provide a Personal-User
with access to Call Manager features, you can “invite”
them as a Guest, even though they are defined as
Personal-Users.
GuestGuests are not defined in IGC User and must therefore
dial-in to an existing team call, using an ID and PIN
specific to the team call. When a User schedules a team
call, IGC User generates an ID and PIN specific to the
call, which it includes in an email that it sends to the
User. The User can then forward this email to Guests.
Guests in a business team call differ from Listeners in a
broadcast call. Unlike Listeners, Guests can participate
fully in the call.

Once a call is scheduled, you can forward the email
created by IGC to your Guests. At the appointed time, the
Guests dial-in to the IGC telephone number, and use the
Conference Number and PIN to join the call and log into
the Call Manager.
You can also initiate a Meet-Me call without scheduling
it, by entering the conference ID and PIN of an existing
team.
Once a team is created, you can forward the email
created by IGC to your Personal-Users to enable them to
log into scheduled calls as guest, thereby allowing them
to use the Call Manager.

1.2Broadcast Calls
Broadcast calls are moderator controlled and can only be scheduled by the
Broadcast Administrator. The Moderator is always the first pers on to join a
broadcast call; IGC will not allow Speakers and Listeners to join until th e Modera tor
is on the line.
T See “Broadcast Calls” on page 103.
Types of Broadcast Call Users
There are four types of users, all of which ca n only be defined by the System
Administrator.
ModeratorModera tors maintai n full contro l over the bro adcast call,
and must be present for a broadcast call to take place.
Only one person can be defined as the moderator for a
broadcast team, and no one else can dial-in to the
broadcast call before the moderator has joined using the
proper PIN.
Once logged into the Call Manager, the moderator
controls what a Listener can and cannot do. The options
are:
T Listen Only - This is the default. The Silence User
command returns the Listener to this state after
being allowed to speak.
T Cancel Request - Cancels a Listener’s request to
speak.
T Speak - The listener is allowed to speak to the
group.
SpeakerSpeakers join calls and log into the Call Manager using
their individual PINs. Once logged in, they have access to
all Call Manager facilities available to Users in business
team calls.

The Moderator can permit the Listener to speak. The
Moderator can also place the Listener on hold, thus
preventing the Listener from hearing the broadcast call.

handle the Listener’s request. The Moderator can also
place the Listener on hold at any time.
Listener-OnHold
Listeners-On-Hold are similar to Listeners, but do not
dial-in directly to the broadcast call. Instead, they are

1.3Other Features
Pronunciation Control and the Listen Button
IGC uses a standard phonetic system to pronounce names. The Listen button allows
you to hear that pronunciation and add a “N ickname” that is pronounced but not
displayed. For Team names, which do not contain a Nickname field, it is
recommended that you enter a phonetic spelling, such as “co-laa-bo-rey-shyn”
rather than “collaborati on”.
Name Tags
IGC identifies each participant in a team call. The Call Manager lets you know who is
in the team call and who is speaking even if you don’t recognize the voice. If you
don’t know all of the participants, these “name tags” help you identify them.
Microsoft Outlook Plug In
You can download a plug in from for Microsoft Outlook that enables you to make
Meet-Me calls directly from Outlook. Once installed, you can initiate a Meet-Me call
to any of your Outlook Contacts just by clicking the IGC call icon in Outlook.
T See “IGC Agent for Microsoft Outlook” on page 113.
