Asterisk's conference room is set up in /etc/asterisk/meetme.conf. All conference rooms should be listed under header [rooms]. The syntax used to configure conference room is:

conf => conference_number[,pin][,adminpin]

The following is an example of a conference room setup with the number 2500 and PIN 1234:

[rooms]
conf => 2500,1234

If we set up more than one room, it is recommended that you label them so as to remember which number for which conference.

[rooms]
; marketing team
conf => 2500,1234

; publisher team
conf => 2501,5678

Since being an administrator does not provide us with authorization that could use the features otherwise available when we use Asterisk for something much more complicated, it is not necessary to set the PIN.

There are several options that can be used, such as:

m - caller can listen but not speak.
t - caller can speak but cannot hear.
p - caller can get out of the Conference by pressing the # key.

There are two additional options that have not been implemented:

s - Asterisk provides menu to the user if * is pressed.
a – give the user administrator privileges on a conference.
