Note: Meeting passwords are modified to accommodate room systems that only allow numeric characters to be entered from their keypads. Passwords are changed to number strings when a meeting invite is created. This change only impacts the passwords required by room systems and not other devices.
Meetings without a password:
[IP Address]##[Meeting ID]###[Host Key]
Example: 192.168.1.25##123456789###123456
Meetings with a password:
[IP Address]##[Meeting ID]#[Password]#[Layout]#[Host Key]
Example: 192.168.1.25##123456789#12345#11#123456
Meetings without a password:
[Meeting ID]...[Host Key]@[IP Address]
Example: 123456789...123456@192.168.1.25
Meetings with a password:
[Meeting ID].[Password]..[Host Key]@[IP Address]
Example: 123456789.12345..123456@192.168.1.25
Host options can be accessed from within the SIP/H.323 in-meeting menu. If the host key has not been entered prior to joining, when accessing the menu, you will be prompted to enter the host key.
