To enter into the Conference, an Attendee will call into the Conference Hub and enter the Conference Number, followed by the # ("pound") key. They will then be prompted for the Attendee Password; once entered, the Attendee will have joined the conference.
If Moderator Controls are enabled, the Moderator will call into the Conference Hub and enter the Conference Number, followed by the * ("star") key. They will then be prompted for the Moderator Password; once entered, the Moderator will have joined the conference.
When Moderator Controls are enabled, users can be muted or unmuted.
"Attendees are muted until moderator joins" is selected, then all Attendees are first muted when they join the Conference. Once the Moderator joins, all Attendees become automatically unmuted.
If "Attendees are able to speak by default" is selected, then all Attendees are able to speak even if the Moderator has not yet joined.
If "Attendees are muted by default", then all Attendees are muted when they join the Conference, but do not become unmuted automatically when the Moderator joins.
Once in the Conference, the Moderator has the ability to mute or unmute all Attendees by pressing 5 (to mute) or 6 (to unmute). The moderator will hear the number of Attendees in the Conference announced when they use mute or unmute. The Moderator should disregard this.
