You can jump to the end of the menu when at the start by using the up control; similarly, you will loop back to
the start if you are at the end and use the down control. Note that there is a scroll bar in the bottom right of the
video display to indicate where you are in the auto attendant menu. From anywhere in the menu, you can
jump to the first entry with #2 and to the last entry with #8.

By default, you join a conference by using the number keys on your endpoint to dial the conference's numeric
ID, followed by a '#'. If a conference has both a Numeric ID and a Guest numeric ID set, you may enter
either ID, and will join the conference as either a chairperson or guest as appropriate. As you start to enter a
numeric ID, the sequence you have typed will be shown at the base of the auto attendant screen. You may
cancel the numeric ID entry (for instance to correct an error) by pressing '*'.

If you have connected to the auto attendant using an endpoint that has no FECC capability (for example
many SIP endpoints), you can use the number keys on your endpoint to navigate the menus; this is called
"DTMF navigation mode". DTMF navigation mode enables you to use the number keys: 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the
place of up, left, right, and down respectively.
