Setting up a Bridge Number

One way to join a booked conference is by dialing in via a Bridge Number. Before this can take place, a bridge number must be set up. There are several methods for setting up a bridge number, depending on how the site's telephone system is configured with the local telephone company.  We have provided one sample method, based on an incoming call route.

Sample Bridge Number set-up

Again, this is only one of several ways to set up a Bridge Number for use with Conferencing Center.

1. In Voicemail Pro 3.0, create a Conferencing Center module, if you have not already created one.

2. In Manager:

• Create an incoming call route by clicking Incoming Call Route.

  • In the Line group ID field, enter a line group number you want to assign for Conferencing Center.  

  • In the Destination field, input the Conferencing Center module name that was created in Voicemail Pro, preceded by VM:.  

• Define which line(s) you want assigned for conferencing under Line.  

  • In the Incoming Group ID field, enter the line group number that was set up in the incoming call route.  

• Save and merge configuration.

3. Contact your local telephone company to complete the set-up for a bridge number.
