How To Use NM to Place a Computer-to-Phone Call from a Web Page

MORE INFORMATION

To enable placing NetMeeting calls to a telephone from a Web page, first create a SpeedDial (.cnf) file and add a link to it on a Web page. When you click the link, the .cnf file is downloaded and a computer-to-telephone call is initiated from NetMeeting.

NOTE: Typically, .cnf files are generated when you create a speed dial entry from within NetMeeting. NetMeeting does not have the functionality to generate .cnf files to initiate computer-to-telephone calls. However, if created manually, you can use .cnf files to initiate such calls.

Steps to Create .cnf File

1. Using a text editor (such as Notepad), create a file with the following lines:

   [ConferenceShortcut]
   ConfName=<name>
   Address=<gateway IP address>/<phone number>
   CallFlags=2
   Transport=8

   NOTE: <name> is the conference you want to join (this value is not required), <gateway IP address> is the Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your gateway, and <phone number> is the number you want to call.
   
   For example, create a file with the following lines:

   [ConferenceShortcut]
   ConfName=Test
   Address=111.11.1.11/3334456
   CallFlags=2
   Transport=8

2. Save the file using a .cnf extension (for example, Mygatewaycall.cnf).
