Click-to-conference using a third-party audio bridge

When you already own an audio bridge for dial-up conference calls, you can use that bridge for integrated Sametime® audio conferencing.

Components required:
  • Sametime Media Manager
    • Sametime Conference Manager
    • Sametime SIP Proxy/Registrar (optional, required to use the Sametime client with a SIP-capable bridge)
  • TCSPI adapter from bridge vendor

The following graphic shows how you can deploy the Media Manager, along with a TCSPI adapter that you get from the bridge vendor. This allows you to control your audio conferencing experience from your Sametime client. You can join calls, dial out, display dial-in numbers and pass codes, monitor participants, and so on. If the bridge supports SIP, you'll be able to connect using your Sametime client.
