is inserted into the subwoofer and provides serial connection up to
2 Mbps bandwidths.
AES Software License (Advanced Encryption Support)* (available
Q4 03) – This software option provides AES encryption support for both IP
and ISDN point-to-point calls.
Can I try the multipoint capability before buying a license?
Yes. All systems ship with a Multipoint Software License that enables limit-
less (5) minute multi-point calls. This allows for sufficient time to dial three
participants, over IP or ISDN or mixed, using the internal MCU capabilities.
If this feature proves useful, users can purchase a permanent key from their
Polycom reseller.
What, exactly, is the functionality of the internal multipoint?
The internal MCU allows the user to dial a mix of IP & ISDN or IP & V.35 end-
points using the internal bridging capabilities of the VSX. This feature also
allows a participant to dial into a call that is already in progress. This ability
is made secure by the option of adding a "dial-in" password. Four total par-
ticipants can be in the call at any one time.
