This report provides a summary of all PSTN conferences; these are conferences in which at least one user dials in using the public switched telephone network (PSTN). In Microsoft Lync Server 2010, this is also referred to as dial-in conferencing.

Filters provide a way for you to return a more finely-targeted set of data or to view the returned data in different ways. For example, the PSTN Conference Summary Report enables you to choose how data should be grouped. In this case, conferences are grouped by hour, day, week, or month.

The following table lists the filters that you can use with the PSTN Conference Summary Report.
