    If a user dials in with i.e. his cell phone to a OCS conference, and is not using CWA,
    how can the external user mute and unmute his line, if the phone does not offer a mute/unmute button.
    Is there any DTMF capability (*6, #6 i.e.) available to mute/unmute the line?

    Hi Marc,

    I escalated this to the product team because I wasn't able to find any info on this.

    Short answer : OCS 2007 R2 does not support DTMF tones!

    Workarround is:
    - Either use CWA
    - Or mute the phone on the device itself

    Ask your cell phone provider how to mute the phone.  You didn't mention the cell phone model, but don't virtually all of them have their own mute capability?
