How does the Meeting Start Guard Time affect the Disconnect Empty Port Timer?
A. The Disconnect Empty Port Timer (DEPT) starts ticking as soon as the meeting begins. This example describes the process: • A meeting is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., DEPT = 30 minutes, Meeting Start Guard Time = 10 minutes. • The meeting begins at 8:50 a.m. per the Meeting Start Guard Time setting. Therefore, the DEPT starts ticking at 8:50 a.m.. If there are no participants in the meeting at 9:20 a.m., the meeting ends. Note: These specifics affect the process: • If you do not want the Meeting Start Guard Time to affect the DEPT, set the Meeting Start Guard Time. • No matter what these settings are, every meeting is guaranteed to last for the first ten minutes.
