HOWTO Bridge ESNet to a phone

These instructions will create a bridge between an ESNet meeting and a ReadyTalk meeting. Users can then dial into the ReadyTalk meeting via phone to participate. It should be noted that users can dial directly into the ESNet meeting, but it may be a long-distance phone call that incurs charges.

These instructions were copied from the ECS website:

1. Dial into the ReadyTalk service: 866-740-1260 in the U.S. and Canada or your local international toll-free number.
2. Join/start a conference as a chairperson.
3. Once in a conference, dial *1 (this will put you in a dial out mode).
4. Dial H.323 ISDN/IP gateway number as 510-423-9220 and press #.
5. Bypass the recorded instructions by pressing #. ReadyTalk audio bridge will begin dialing out to the above number.
6. Once connected, enter a conference ID, as instructed (e.g. 82123).

All the participants of your ReadyTalk audo bridge confernece will join the H.323 video conference.

To disconnect from the video bridge, press *4.
