Click-To-Conference - Polycom RMX 1500 Administrator's Manual

Click-to-Conference

Guidelines
The Office Communications Server and Lync Server clients can be
configured to start multipoint audio and video conferences directly from
the Office Communications Client or Lync Client window that will run on
the RMX MCU in the same way point-to-point calls are started. In this
mode, several contacts are selected and then you select to start an audio or
video conference. The ad-hoc conference is started on the RMX instead of
the Microsoft A/V MCU, offering better, higher quality video, many
video layouts and connection to many types of endpoints, via various
networks (H.323, ISDN, PSTN and non-MS SIP).
• Click-to-Conference mode is enabled by running the
PolycomOCSConfigurator.exe utility that can be downloaded from
the Polycom Service site.
• Click-to-Conference mode is supported with Microsoft Office
Communications Server (Wave 13) and Lync Server (Wave 14).
• An Ad-hoc conference is created on the RMX based on the default SIP
Factory. Any changes to the conference Profile assigned to the SIP
Factory will apply to the Ad-hoc conference.
• The name of the conference that is running on the RMX is derived
from the default SIP Factory name and a sequential number in the
format:
default SIP Factory_nnn.
• Click-to-Conference mode is supported with HDX in wave 14 only
• Point-to-point calls that were started on the Microsoft A/V MCU
cannot be escalated to multipoint calls on the RMX.
• IM sessions can be escalated to video calls.
• Desktop sharing is supported in Click-to-Conference conference only
with Office Communications Client.
