Star Code to initiate conference call

[sudo]

Quick question regarding the star code to start a conference call from an extension. *53 by default.

 

Does it require that a conference room be setup and then the star code pushes the call out the conference room account, or does it bridge the calls together on the sip device/extension itself?

 

There is no info here http://wiki.snomone.com/index.php?title=Miscellaneous_Codes

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, you need to have a conference room in the domain. If the code contains the room, then it will pick the room (e.g. *53123 for 123). Otherwise it will pick a "random"--if you have only one room in the domain, then this is not very random.
