Chapter 3: Starting a New Call

You can start a videoconference on the Avaya Scopia
outlines how to dial to other endpoints in different modes, how to start videoconferences with many
participants, and how to answer and end a meeting.
To quickly dial with the settings best suited for a specific contact, we recommend setting up your
phone book to include calling preferences, along with the contact's information. For example, you
can set a contact to audio-only, and this setting is automatically used when calling this contact.

About this task
Like a mobile phone, your Avaya Scopia
new dial string like a number, or choose a recently dialed entry, or dial a saved contact from your
address book.
If you want to join or host a meeting with several participants, you must decide which MCU is
hosting the meeting:
• Your endpoint's built-in MCU (selected models only and requires a license)
• Another endpoint's built-in MCU
• A dedicated MCU like the Scopia
To host the meeting on your own built-in MCU, you can either call out to other endpoints to join your
meeting, or you can give out your endpoint's address for them to call in to your endpoint. The
endpoint address you give out can be an IP (like 1.2.3.4), or an H.323 alias (like john_smith) or a
URI address (like john@company.com). If you invite endpoints outside your network, verify with
your system administrator that your endpoint's address is valid for external endpoints.
Your call is securely encrypted when it shows a padlock icon
administrator to configure encryption (see Deployment Guide for Avaya Scopia
Important:
Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited for
usage. For more information, consult your local reseller.
