The creation status of each of the displayed meetings is shown in the Status column.

Green—Successful status

Orange—Alert status

Red—Failure status

There are three status indicators in each row.

First (left) status icon—Indicates meeting creation status.

If meeting creation fails due to device failure, Resource Manager attempts to recreate the meeting whenever it receives a dial-in call from a meeting participant. This allows the system multiple attempts at creating the meeting after the initial failure.

Second (middle) status icon—Indicates participant/terminal status.

If the second status indicator is red, a participant/terminal is not connected.

If the second status indicator is orange, a participant/terminal is disconnecting from the meeting.

Third (right) status icon—Indicates meeting termination status.

Step 5 To view the Reason Failed error message, select the red status indicator, and then select Retry to resend the meeting information to the MCU.


Note If a terminal is disconnected correctly using the In-meeting Control interface, there is no red status indicator.
