Walter Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi guys, some of you may have seen my other posts, I'm trying to get a big amount of extensions and faxes setup together. I'm pretty sure I'll have to get multiple PBX units probably 3 when all the stores we are trying to connect get switched over. Now can I chain conference rooms? like the Conference room of one PBX dials the conference of the other PBX? Is there any limit on the quantity of participants other than the amount of trunks? and the number of CCS the server hardware can handle?

Vodia PBX Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Chaining conference rooms is not a good idea. There are a couple of problems with that. First you are piling up delay. That is probably the least problem. Second, you are piling up "noise" as the conference trunk will always be busy and the PBX has no more chance to cut out silent speakers. Unlike real conferences, there is no concept of "ditance" in the PBX conference room, so everyone even breathing will be mixed into conference and this creates to much background noise that the conference will not be fun any more. Third, when you have a large number of conference participants, you need to have some way of moderating who is talking. Otherwise, everyone caughing and putting the call on hold (music on hold from the cell phone provder) will easily disrupt the conference to the degree where this is not fun any more. I would say the max conference participants is somwhere around ten persons. This will be okay for most CPU, so this is not so much a CPU problem, the problem is more on the "application layer".

polycom2080 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 i guess if PBX can seat on multi core it would make it much better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosted Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 what would be cool is if you could have a listen only code. then you dont have to mix to many conversations and get a lot more people to listen. which is what you want for large calls anyway.
