Monitoring On Going Conferences
You can monitor conferences and perform various operations while 
conferences are running.
Monitoring involves viewing the status of On Going Conferences and the 
status of their participants.
Three levels of monitoring are available with the MGC Manager: 
General Monitoring - You can monitor the general status of all the On 
Going Conferences and their participants in the MGC Manager main 
window. 
Conference Level Monitoring - You can view additional information 
regarding the conference using the Conference - Properties option. 
Participant Level Monitoring - You can view detailed information on the 
participant's status using the Participant - Properties option. 
When an operator is available to attend participants, you can view the 
status of participants in the Participants Queue window. For more 
information about the Participants Queue, see the MGC Manager User’s 
Guide, Volume I, Chapter 8
.
Operations can be performed at the conference level or at the participant 
level. For example, you can terminate a conference before its scheduled 
ending or you can extend its duration. You can also disconnect an individual 
participant while the conference is in progress, or temporarily mute 
transmission to and from a site so that the other participants can hold a private 
discussion. You can also connect dial-out participants during the conference 
and add a new participant while the conference is in session.
General Monitoring
Monitoring a conference enables you to keep track of its participants and its 
progress. When monitoring a conference, you can check whether all its 
participants are correctly connected and whether errors and faults have 
occurred.
The MGC Manager allows you to monitor several On Going Conferences 
simultaneously. The On Going Conference information is easily available and 
clearly represented.
