Abstract
A conferencing server accepts a conferencing session call from a conferencing node over a communications link. The conferencing server receives a message from the conferencing node requesting confidence testing over the communications link. The conferencing server transmits confidence test signals to the conferencing node over the communications link for playing by the conferencing node. The conferencing server receives a status of the playing of the confidence test signals from the conferencing node. The conferencing server transmits the status of the playing of the confidence test signals to a customer support node.
