Identifying Telephony Disconnects

One common request from Adobe Connect users is to find out why a user may have gotten disconnected from a conference call while using Adobe Connect.  The important thing to realize here is that Adobe Connect will only disconnect a user from a conference call (with integrated telephony adaptor in place) if that user or a host in the meeting very deliberately choses one of a couple of options to disconnect the user.

The options for the in-meeting telephony disconnects are shown below:

tel1

This is what an individual user can access to disconnect their phone.

tel2

This is what a Meeting Host can do in the Attendee List pod, to hang up a user’s line.

Other than using these options, Adobe Connect does NOT send API commands to the telephony provider to hang up a conference user.  So a common scenario we may have is to identify whether Adobe hung up a user (via a very deliberate action) or whether the user was hung up by an external action (external to Adobe Connect). We do so by looking at the Adobe logs in conjunction with the Telephony Provider’s logs (PGI, InterCall, MeetingOne, Arkadin, etc).

On the Telephony Provider side, they can also differentiate between receiving an API from Adobe to disconnect a user vs just getting notification that the line is no longer active (which happens when a user is hung up for a reason between the Provider and Adobe).

User phone connections can drop for a variety of reasons.  Cell phone reception being dropped, IP phone connections (relying on an internet connection) going up and down (VPN, etc), user accidentally hanging up their own phone, a provider or carrier setting that sets a maximum connection time that gets exceeded, or a general carrier outage or issue in between Adobe and the Provider.  This is the most common.  Sometimes we see where a specific carrier will have a routing issue or other type of problem and it will interrupt that user’s connection to the conference.  These are outside of the realm of Adobe support and what needs to happen in this case is that the users must open a ticket with their Provider and through their Provider, they can have them track the possible route of the calls through the specific carriers involved, to see where the disconnect and problem occurred.

With regards to log analysis (overview article of the applicable logs needed), here is a breakdown (example) of the two scenarios for each of the main telephony providers we serve on our Hosted and Licensed environment. ( I have ‘x’ed out some items like urls, conference codes, and phone numbers ):
